I bent mine a bit but was able to beat it back to shape with a hard rubber/plastic mallet..... I've heard of peop's using JP weld and redefining the bead seat so it holds air--But thats lot only bikes....

it depends how bad it is..if its a fairly small bent lip you can hit it back but if its a decent bent then your pretty much screwed..you will end up crackin the wheel...happen to me a couple times...exspecially the front

you can bend back with a rubber mallet if it isnt too bad, i've cracked one trying to over do it before
