Had an OTB incident on friday night from which I escaped unharmed however I completed the ride with a severely wobbly front wheel.  I think low tyre pressure may have contributed to the crash.  Stripped wheel down yesterday for LBS to re true but now no sign of rim buckle.  The tyre was tubeless and well stuck to the rim.  There is no obvious signs of damage to the carcase - should I just reseat and carry on?

Had a similar thing happen to me, thought rim was bent but when I had a real close look in daylight next day the tyre had tried to burp and moved off the rim ever so slightly, just let down and reseated it, been fine ever since.

Did the same thing to my front a few weeks ago. The front tyre warped somehow. No visible damage, but it looked like a massive buckle!
