I just got back from a long weekend tearing up with my BF 650i. I just noticed just recently after a good clean up that my rear left outside rim has a slight bend. The bend is on the outside of the rubber that looks like a "C". I have seen mechanics use a special pry bar with a grabber on the end that bends the metal back into shape. What is the tool called and where can I pick one up? The rim is not bent nor the tire damaged. The damage probably came from a rock on the edge of the trail and i just happen to run over it just right to slightly bend the outside rim. If pictures are required I can make it a do.

Thanks....

 

Dont know the "technical name" but I call the one I use a prybar with a crows foot on the end, You can pick up a 10 or 12 inch chrome bar at sears for $10 I think, The end looks like a cresent moon and will usually hook in the rim and straighten it out.

 

I take a 1" x 1/4" piece of flat stock about 10" long and round off the end nicely and tap it into lip of the rim to clean it up, if this is what you are talking about .
