What Is Dinging a Rim?
I just encountered the phrase, "Dinging a rim." Is it just another way "of damaging a rim"
Any information you can provide will be appreciated a lot. Thank you |
The synonym in this context is "to dent". It is a localized damage that can, e.g., occur when the rim hits a curb.

Very different from ringing a din! 😳

Small dent that probably doesn't ruin it.

Moving to mechanics forum.

I pluck spokes, I don't shoot them (as in plinking). Andy |

Dinging is just a vague word for many things. Doesn't tell you much when someone says, "my rim is dinged, how do I fix it". Kind of like getting "popped" in the head. Could be a playful slap in the back of the head from a spouse or a brain crushing knockout punch from Mike Tyson. I predict at least 2 pages for this thread. :bang:

"Ding" is the word sellers use when trying to sell something that has a DENT or is completely trashed. Similar to "Ran when parked" (35 years ago).

Does anyone (besides me) "tap" the spokes with something like a plastic screwdriver handle? Saves my fingernails! :innocent:
