Anybody got any ideas on how I can remove these dings on my Gnarly pipe?

Heard about using water and putting it in a freezer? Any ideas?

Don't think water will work on those, pipe is fairly rigid there. If that happened to mine I would cut that section out panelbeat it and weld it back in, somebody may respond with the success rate of heat and pressure.If you haven't got access to the equipment look for a shop that repirs them.

Yea i was going to say pressurize it then heat it up ;)They also make a tool that spot welds rivets, and then you get a slide hammer on the rivet, and give it a couple yanks :cool:

I would leave it there and eventually just buy a new pipe if it bothers you that much.

piperepair dot com claims to fix any pipe damage for 50 bucks. Never used them nor do I know anyone that has.

It is not a major deal, but I try and keep my bike looking good, money permitting! I will take it to a pipe repair shop and see what they say...
