How dinged does a rim have to be to be problematic with a tubeless setup?

and......

does anyone have a technique a way of straightening minor dingettes??

Cheers.

Adjustable spanner, but as the wall is so low on stans, you may crack the rim (I did).

My rim ran tubeless OK with a lot of dents in it tho.

Aye, it's not actually a Stans rim, its a Sun, but using a Stans No Tubes kit, is what I meant.

It's only a small ding and to be honest not sure yet if it's the cause of my problem. I have had two occasions of the the bead seeming to come away from the rim - in the same place I think. I had a good look at the rim this time before trying again and that's when I found the dingette. I have marked it and will see if I get a similar result again - but it may well be another, as yet unknown, issue.

Never thought about an adjustable - obvious now I think about it - Cheers.
