Hey guys. Does anyone know any good ways of getting buckles out of wheels? (Prefrably without dismanteling the wheel. But if it must be done so be it). Cause I have a couple of mountain bike rims and a couple of road bike rims with buckles in them. not really bad but enough to drain half your speed while riding, and I really dont want to pay $50 each for new rims or $80 for new wheels.
Thanks:)

you don't have to pay $50 for new rims, you have to pay <$20us for a wheel true, which you can do yourself, but as you didn't seem to know that such a procedure existed perhaps the shop should deal with it.
