On the way to work this morning I hit a surprise pothole at about 40 mph. After getting off the bike I noticed that the lip of the front rim is slightly bent. It only looks about 1/16 of an inch off, and the tire is still holding air. Balance still seems normal.
Is this something I can ignore, or will this cause me problems in the future?
I'm getting ready to leave on a 5k mile trip in late August, and I'm not sure my budget will allow me a new rim.
Any thoughts?
