Has anyone had any success pulling out a dent from the frame on an XB?
The point that usually gets hit under where the frame puck goes...

I also have a dent in the same position. I am fearing that it will weaken the aluminum alloy to pull it out. My plan is to go with chemical metal, fiberglass bondo and top it off with fine bondo.

Anyone done a dent repair and can share a good method?

i had the same dent on my bike and did not want to weaken it by pulling it out - i used quick steel putty, and sanded and blended it into the frame puck:

total cost under $20

Used frame = $250 and up + installation
New Frame = $1250 + installation

I think it looks pretty good all things considered
