Hello everybody,

I bought my first relatively expensive bike, a Trek dual sport 3 gen 5.

After my 3rd ride , I noticed the cheap build quality of some components.

I hit the side of the curb , which resulted in me falling and the wheel bending like this.

I had a much thinner tire on a cheaper bike before , and had gone through extreme abuse without bending. I had fallen similarly a bunch of times.

The pedal also got deformed some way.

Is it normal for trek bontrager rims to bend so easily ? Should I fix it or return the bike ?

  1. I mean you fucked it up, it’s not a manufacturer defect. How are you gonna return it?
