Okay, dude riding the grey GT (who smoked my front wheel tonight) ... if you're on here, fess up. I checked my wheel and it's got a nice you-shaped gouge in the rim but it doesn't look like the rim is bent - it's just out of true and I'll fix it up this weekend. No harm, no foul.
Tip: Make sure no one's already riding the line you want to be on before you cut left!
