What I am concerned about is that I bend it back, weakening it more.
Then after lacing it up and riding they bend back in and the tear gets
longer and more puls away from the axle and it get worse and worse and
I have to de-lace then rebuild my wheel with a new hub and I wont be
able to ride again.
