While sorting out a p******* I noticed a couple of dents in the rim (no doubt due to the wonderfull amount of pot holes I have do dodge these days!) , and while they were not in the area of the p******* I am wondering if I need to worry about these,or just leave them be - I doubt the first one would be a issue, but the second one looks a tad bigger. I have disc brakes so nothing to worry about with braking surface, and the wheel seams to be true when looking at it

    Rim dents are a PITA on rim brakes but with discs much less so as they don't affect braking performance.

    More important is to seal any paintwork that's cracked or scratched to delay corrosion.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.
