Bumps in my rim

[bazzawill]

Hey just wondering if there are any wheel builders / truers here could give me some advise. My rims have developed bumps in them and causing my tubeless tyres (schwalbe one pro) not to seal. See the picture below. Does it look fixable. I will take it to a bike shop later. Otherwise I will replace the rim and rebuild the wheel.

Those are dents from bottoming out the rim from to low of tire pressure on something like a train track or pot hole. You can potentially roll that out with a wooden wallpaper seam roller; but I don't very much that they will have seal tubeless again. They will work fine with tubes in all likelihood. Don't try using pliers as you'll probably crack the rim side wall if you try to bend it back. Rule is you can sometime roll or pound out a dent; you can not bend or twist it back with lateral force. Sucks really; I've got some rims that have been relegated to tubes only because of similar problem. I did that to a brand new set on the first ride last spring. Tire was low from a bad mount and promptly hit the biggest pot hole in the neighborhood.

Yeah... what Ratz said.
When you're rolling again on your body-shopped wheel, you may feel some pulsing when you brake,
assuming that your wheel is slowed by a rim brake.

You'll notice that I wrote, "when you're rolling..."
-because I would not bet my life on a weakened rim.
Please replace your rim(s) ASAP!
