Never seen a topic like this. So here goes. This rim use to have a trailpro on it. I had these on my tecate 4 when a buddy of mine t Boned me. The tire held air all the way home. And it went on to another set of rims.
Ever see on bent this bad? Guy on kijiji says he can fix bent rims. Till he sees mine.:wondering
Now its a conversation piece.

It's true. A wise man once told me that once a rim has been separated from a trailpro it will never truly be the same unless it is reunited with said trailpro.

I have a couple of bent rims, but neither can compete with that. Looks like an elephant stepped on it.

Yup! Got a set on my Br. My rims were so rusty I had to tube the Mudpuppies to seal them.
Gota say that bent one is a real 'douzzie'!

all i have is a story.youll have to use your imagination.when i was a kid my rim bolts came out on a split rim tire.this caused the rim to expand and shred the bolt holes out.the hole center of the rim was destroyed.to fix i welded some 1/8 inch plate in the rim and redrilled the holes.

A few years ago, during the winter, my friend and I were riding along the edge of the Mississippi. He was on my Banshee, and I was on my '86 ATC250R. We were going pretty fast, you know, in case the ice was thin. I was sliding past a hump of frozen cattails. Not a full-lock side slide, but just a little sideways. I clipped the frozen chunk of mud at the base of the cattail and it bent my front rim. I didn't flip, but the front tire went instantly flat. When you are on snow/ice, and your front tire is flat on a three wheeler, you cannot steer (in case you didn't know that already).
It was not a fun ride home that's for sure.

Ya, I could. But I don't like the tire, it is too big and rubs the pipe when he front shocks compress anyway.

Ths crappy part is when the rim got tore up the tire was fine. I had to get off the track and when doing so it cut the sidewal of a BRAND NEW tire.

Just racing, I got the holeshot made it out front, In the second lap Second place overshot a sweeper turn and hit my backend, 3rd place slamed straight into my rim, Front bumper to rim.

30-40mph turn

The 2 guys are good friends, I think it was planned, But who knows, THATS RACING!!!
