Seriously, a 2-3mm buckle? Don't worry about it, leave it as is

2-3 mm .... on a skyway?
So you've got a good one then? Isnt that about as straight as they get? Just slacken off the brakes so it dont rub. Its not like the brake will work anyway

someone had a way of warming them then using two car rims to sandwich the tuff, to straighten them. but for 2/3mm may be a bit extreme

Soz to disagree,but i have skyways on most of my bikes and all the brakes work spot on.
As for the buckle,i wouldnt bother,because if you do some tricks on your bike the skyways usually bend back into shape eventually.

Are you sure that the slight bend is not actually in the hub/spindle ?
This is common too.
