Bent 313

Yes all wheels can bend. Here is living proof of my newly bent OEM 313. 18 inch no less.

I hate Boston/Cambridge roads!!!

That must have been a serious pot hole you hit. Did you check your suspension for damage?

Seems to be ok. Tracks right, feels pretty much the same. Ill get it up on a lift next week and check.

Wow, that looks like it sucked! I agree f**k boston lol

Damn

Should be just the wheel hopefully. The wheel absorbed the forces. If it wasn't bent it could have been your suspension.

I think I've seen you at Soldier's Field... like 4 months ago. Where did you hit said pot hole?

The 18's arn't forged though, they're low pressure cast I think. Also kind of the weakness of 5-spoke designs, theres quite a bit portion that doesn't transfer forces to the center hub very well.

I am pretty sure I got this coming on 93N off of Rutherford in sommerville.

There was this gigantic pothole that I couldn't avoid. There are so many incidents that may have caused this. I am really disappointed with the quality of roads in and around the city. It's not like we don't pay enough taxes.

I was at the rmv in Watertown about 4 months ago. So that was probably me!

Agreed

I came from Toronto suburbs where I've never ever had to look at the road. Here I'm constantly scanning it because theres something to swerve around every 300 feet.
