Bicycle wheels rely on properly tensioned spokes and correctly aligned rims to roll smoothly. Over time, bumps, potholes, loose spokes, or everyday wear can cause a wheel to develop a noticeable wobble.
Wheel truing involves adjusting spoke tension to help bring the rim back into alignment. In many cases, a minor wobble can be corrected without replacing the entire wheel.
However, severely bent rims, damaged spokes, or worn wheel components may require additional repairs or replacement.
Scott can inspect your wheel, explain what’s causing the problem, and help determine whether adjustment, repair, or replacement is the best option.
Safety note: If your wheel is severely bent, has broken spokes, or feels unstable, avoid riding until it has been inspected.
