k i went riding today. it was dusty, REAL DUSTY, so you could barely see the trail. i was riding and managed to clip a rock with the lip of my right front rim. ripped the handlebars right out of my hand. now there is a slow leak in the tire and i need to fix it.
my question is:
can i hammer the bend out of the rim? its not crushed in or anything just bent outwards.
also if i do bend it back in, will the leak stop or should i put some silicon calking or something on there to seal it first?
lastly, if none of that is going to work will a bottle of slime in that tire fix it?
if it helps i can get pics tomorrow
thx
