Title:
How do I straighten a bent wheel rim?
Text:
One of the rims on my bike is very bent; it stops after 1/2 a revolution because the bent part hits the brake pads.
I've head I need a spoke key, and also read that the best way to get a rim straight is to just take it to a pro, since it is somewhat of an art. Is this something I can tackle on my own?
