If you've seen me recent post, ya know I'm in the market for a new front rim. This has not been the easiest of tasks, for, it seems that this individual rim, but itself, either not readily available for a price I'm willing to pay, or being sold as bent.
With a science background (in computer science but with an understanding of the basics of other sciences) I am not one to have bent metal pieces straightened, as once it is bent the original integrity is compromised, which is why I went ahead and bought an entire front end to swap out. (it was only the tubes that were bent, so I do plan on selling this entire front end once I make a swap. If for anything as parts).
So with that being said, I'm here to ask. Would it be worth it to take the L and have the rim straightened (if it isn't too bad) , or do you think it's too much risk behind it. I would only be keeping it for the summer at the most, and replacing at sometime in the summer anywise, but I need to swap it out ASAP. I'm moving to Auburn,AL for Grad school and would love to have my katana for those highway rides.
I know probably depends on the damage, so I will provide a picture if requested, just need some advice.
