A hammer and a bit of patience

Last year during the cross season, I thought I totally screwed my Zipp 404s. After look at several ways to try to repair the rims that was severely dented, last nite I finally said the heck with it. I pulled out the hammer and just started whacking at them. I had to temper the strikes to make sure I didn't make it worse, but after about half an hour of hammering, then looking at the rim, then hammering some more, they came out pretty good. Sometimes all the high tech gizmos in the world just dont match up to that classic tool, the hammer. It's good on cars, computers and toasters too!
