[QUOTE="RM_Dude, post: 499294, member: 24134"] I have a 21 inch gold excel rim with a small flat spot. I never noticed it until I removed the tire and started truing it. The spot consists of about 3 spokes and 'dips' about .25 inch. Must have been caused by a hard landing or something. Anyone here ever repair such a thing? I'm thinking about removing the 3 spokes and using a press or vice to push the flat spot out. I could put wood blocks or something on each side of the area on outside of rim and push from the inside. I could use a little heat but maybe that would damage the gold finish? I don't know ..... maybe use only light heat onto outside (side covered by tire) ? Sounds like it'll work but if anyone knows a better idea please let me know. [/QUOTE]
