I took a bit of a tumble on the weekend. Thanks go to the car that cut me up on the roundabout - but i digress
As a consiquence of the meeting of my back wheel and the curb I am now the not so proud owner of a wobbly back wheel, I am not concerned about the side to side wobble, but the slight flat spot does worry me a little. how much will this affect the ride/handling of the bike, particularly at high speeds.
Does anyone know if its possible to pull the wheel back into shape?
Or am I worrying about nothing and just truing up the side to side distortions is the best I will ever get?
the reason for asking is that if there is nothing that can be done to solve flat spots then I will true the wheel myself and probably use it as a spare. Any money i would have spent on sorting it out can go in the pot to get a new one.
