    Rode into town today to buy a few things... nothing in anyway extreme.

    When I got there I was locking up my bike and noticed my back wheel is wobbling.

    Its not a huge amount of movement but I feel its something that needs fixing.

    Everything seems to be done up tight so whats wrong with it?
    😕

    Thanks

    Ps. Person who solves my problems gets a free muffin.

    Either: out of true, loose cups, not in drop outs correctly, or twisted frame.

    im not exactly sure what kind of wobble your talking about (vertical or horizontal) but i can help if its vertical.

    1. turn bike upside down
    2. spin wheel
    3. as wheel spins look to see if it bobs up and down
    4. if it does deflate the tyre
    5. pull the valve through the hole on the inner rim until it wont move any further
    6. check that the inner tube inst bunched up anywhere
    7. fin!

    Its horizontal. 🙁

    l've had the wheel off and done a bit of tinkering, can't seem to stop it though. I'm no bike expert but its not often I can't fix something.

    But what a great excuse to buy a new wheel set. 😄
