bent rim
Damaged bike hoop
A bent rim is a wheel rim that has been warped or deformed from its original shape, typically from hitting a pothole, curb, or other road hazard.
A bent rim causes vibration while driving, uneven tire wear, and slow air leaks: The mechanic said my bent rim was causing the shimmy at highway speeds.
Depending on severity, bent rims can sometimes be straightened rather than replaced.
