I saw this this tried once except with grass though not leaves, the end result one knackered rim to go with the flat tube. 

(This was very long time ago and we didn't know better then  )

Used a few of those mike  infact i lost one of the bearing washers on my rear derailleur jokey wheels about 3 months ago and its still bodged  worst one i had to do to get home was bend the forks on one of my racing bikes in the early 90's , while out training in the ice xmas morning (yes i was obsessed)  i came off and bent the forks, i used a gutter to bend them back, plus bent the ali derailleur hanger so had to use a small adjustable spanner to bend it back, the bike was a vitus 979 , worked fine after but i replaced the forks later on ,

I think one of the beauties of bicycles is that they respond so well to fudges and fixes

yeah as i said on another post you can bend stays out etc but not too often  ive had some pics from the 90's and then upgraded the gearing so had to fit wider axles, im more careful on ali frames though , metal fatigue is worse than steel,

Especially high tensile steels

4130 cromoly is good as well, lots of bending
