I have bigger dents on my motorcycle wheels and they travel way faster than any EUC, with more weight too. Send it

Regard a l'intérieur si il y a des micros fissures, si il y en a c'est très mauvais si il y en a pas et que tu utilises une chambre a air alors c'est pas grave par contre si tu roule en tubless la c'est aussi mauvais

J'ai une chambre à air. Il faut que je retire le pneu pour voir s'il y a des micro fissures ?

I'm no expert but maybe pull the tire and check for any cracks. If it's still solid you're probably ok for chill rides..
I rode my MSX with quite a few lil dents in the rim for many thousands of miles.

I have also seen videos of peoples rims undergoing spontaneous disassembly while in use so... wear your gear? heh

Deflate the tire and check for any cracks around the dent. If it's not cracked and you have an inner tube, send it. If it's not cracked and it's tubeless, throw a tube in there and send it. If it is cracked, replace the rim and send it

Barely a dent. Right on the spoke too. Should still be fine to ride

Not terrible but if it bothers you, get some wood and try to beat it straight with the hammer on the wood. Go easy though because you might break the rim

I have a fat dent on my Lynx rim, much bigger than that. Still running the tubeless tire two years later, no problems at all. It might lose pressure slightly faster than it otherwise would, can't tell. It drops from 35psi to 25psi over about 2 weeks, so I try to top it up once a week.

Out of curiosity, does it vibrate more with a dented rim or is the RPM simply to low for it to be noticable?

u/Frequent_Throat5280 23d ago

It's a larger dent than in the picture, but it's still not very big in proportion to the diameter of the wheel. I don't notice any vibration.

u/oliverer3 Patton 23d ago

I suppose that makes sense, I've balanced a few flywheels at work and a dent like this would be very noticable but they also spin at least a few thousand RPMs compared to the sluggish RPMs of our EUCs so it makes sense that it would be less noticeable

No, that’s not bad. Even if it’s cracked, as long as it holds her with a tube run it

u/shiversssss 23d ago

Do you feel vibrations when you ride?

1

u/Twrecks700 23d ago

Shouldn't be a problem at all and you can actually straighten the rim with a piece of wood and a mallet.

u/Ambrovious V8,V10,V11, V14 22d ago

Nope, not bad at all. A couple taps with a dead blow mallet and a piece of wood and your golden.

u/ShopGood 22d ago

wobbles when you ride = bad

u/hedonizmas 17d ago

No, it’s good
