I keep a spare rim on standby, quicker and safer than making major corrections.
This type of repair really should be considered like a cat loosing a bunch of it's 9 lives. How many more are left? How important is it for your wheel to be reliable? How much is that reliability worth?
When I invest in new rims I buy 2 times the number I'll initially use (I am married to a rider so sometimes this means 8 rims) so I'll have back ups for a while after the rim model is no longer offered. Andy
