suggestion #1: Dont ride it again until its replaced

That must have been a big pothole.. that sucks man... good luck on a good price for a new rim.

Sorry to hear about the bent rim, but glad to know you weren't tossed. I've just missed a few on the highway that scare the crap out of me thinking what would happen if I hit them.

i agree, dont ride it without replacing it! Shaky rim is going to affect your handling, even if its under 35mph..
