Message	was going like 5-10 mph in a parking lot... we won't go into details... 8*) just cliped the outer lip of the front right wheel, bent the lip about 2 cm 's out looks like it should be pretty easy to bend back... tire deflated, and looks like I'll need a new one.. they're 2-piece ? or 3-piece? Wed's Anyway... I guess I have two questions... 1) anyone know anyone that will fix the rim? perferably asap? I'm living around San Jose. 2) do you think it did anymore damage? I remember some one ran over a curb at 25 mph and got their frame tweeked... should I worry? if so.. know any frame shops around here and about how much $$ it is for them to look at it? Thanks a lot.... well... I know in the future I'm going to be a lot more afrade of those curbs.... gotta check my psi too.. I'm wondering if America tire co. really put 40 psi in like I asked...
