All praise the LBS. After a (sober) morning, I rolled my dented Gel330 down to the shop, who successfully hammered out the dent... which is now pretty much invisible.
The last hub, well, let's just say it's meant for retirement. I think the entire -body- of the hub might be bent. I'm ditching the warped rim and i'm going to rebuild the hub with a fresh axle and new bearings/cones... we'll see.
Apparently NYC streets are hard on equipment.
