Just spent about 30 mins straightening the rim on my bike. The key to straightening a bent rim is patients. I have a $3 tool to tighten spokes. I simply spin the wheel and see where it is bent, then tighten the spokes on the opposite side. Works well and I have done it several times. I seem to bend wheels easily while off roading. Good trick to know.
I rode five miles to my mechanic's garage to pick up the farm truck today. Not a long ride, but I was dying to get on the bike and the weather, and my schedule, just haven't been cooperating. It was 49 degrees when I took my ride five hours ago; it's 32 and snowing now. Ugh. Got a new headlight and new mirrors - one for my handlebar and one that clips to my helmet. Getting ready!
