i am just a poor broke ****** tring to get into stunting. picked up a r6 cheap and put a cage and 12 bar on it but the back rim is so bent that it will not hold air. do not have $200 or so for a rim right now. has anyone ran a tube in the rear tire and run low air pressure? will it hold up?

 

get a sledge hammer and beat the **** out of it till it holds air...

 

i got a aluminum car rim fixed at a fab shop for $25 took the guy about 10 min

 

looks like a yzf600 in ur avatior? and i have a bent front rim too.(holds air, just makes a rough ride) keep posted how that works out..

 

hit it with a hammer, but put a wood block inbetween the hammer and block. ive seen that method used before. otherwise try ebay.i got a rear rim for my 03-04 636 for $80 shipped and it came with a rotor and spare cushdrive. so after i blow a tire i just swap the sprocket and mount the rim. straight money.

 

bike in my avatior is a honda cb 900 (hornet 919). do not have pics of the r6 up yet. i have beat the **** out of the rim but it is bent so bad that it has a crack in it. i have tried to put some silicone but does not hold for long.

 

Hammer and pin, hit it hard, and ride on...

 

use a 12" cresent wrench(the bigger wrench,the better the leverage),with the tire off,pinch the lip of the rim where its bent with the wrench and SLOWLY pry it back till it looks good,"SLOWLY "is the key word,if you pry it to hard or to fast then you'll crack the lip or break off a section of the lip.Hammers work good also but one wrong hit and your fucked.
