Question wheel straightening

Hey guys I need to get a rim straightened. A '01 929 rear wheel. I whacked a curb at 20 or so. Cant believe it stayed up. Do you know of a place that does it?? I dont feel like bringing it somewhere that has to send it out. Let me know. Thanks

Breakdown and get a new rim! I dinged my front rim on my 12 it sucked! Vibrations left and right and it wasnt that much of a ding. No one should ride on a dinged rim! Unless your gonna ride no faster than 50 mph... invest! At least maybe from a used bike instead of brand new!

probably because no one rides bikes in Mass and our government sucks. Have you looked at Real Estate in our state lately? How a business survives in this state is beyond me.

They can straighten just about any rim, I sent them 2 tacos with a crack and they straightened it and welded it, just like new... Beats buying a new rim.
