if the dents bother you take it to a framebuilder and have them filled (depnding on thr tubing they can use silver or brass, or a lead-silver mix for super-thin tubing, but that stuff is toxic.
then you have to repaint anyway, so it's not a cheap solution.
i've heard of the tubing-block solution working, but it's delicate, risky, and anyone who knows how to do it is going to be expensive, and you still have to repaint because the blocks rub the paint off the tube.
back when dinasaurs ruled the earth, this was called leading, and is only toxic to the persons present when it is apllied (beathing in the fumes) or the person who is stupid enough to eat it. btw; braze and silver solder used to contain cadmium!
Understand, yes, the hyd thing does not apply to the bike tubes, but it is an industry fix for other tubing or vessel applications. It was just a piece of trivia, pardon if I did not present it as so
place a sticker on the dent and ride
