Fixing bent rims?

I just noticed that my Kinesis K59Rs have a slight bend in the rim. No air is escaping, but I wanted to hear about anyone's experience getting this type of thing fixed. Who did you contact, and how much did it end up costing?

Thanks,

Rob

I'd call kinesis. they're 3piece wheels no? You could probably just buy a new outer section..

I ended up going to Kinesis' web site, and dashing off an email. BTW, I don't have K59Rs, I have K58Rs In the email I left my phone number and received a call a couple hours later, which I wasn't expecting at all. The woman on the phone suggested that I send the wheel (sans tire) to Kinesis so that they could replace the bent section. According to her, the whole process should cost around $275.
