Hey, failed a hop on a ledge and burst my tire, just changed the inner tube but wheel took a hit, can I still ride it ?
I pumped the tire and it seems ok

You can, but you’re very likely to lose that tire again soon, and the bead is not going to hold very well. Look to replace ASAP.

That’s not gonna hold the tyre bead as well, so it’s not great tbh. I’d run a lot lower pressure and see…

This can probably be bent back with a small adjustable wrench

It really depends. I’ve ridden rims with 5 tacos like that and never had a problem, and I’ve ran rims with 1 taco and the tire would just not stay on. I’d try riding it for a little with your normal psi and see what happens. Don’t expect the world from it and maybe start setting some cash aside for a new one!
