Friend’s 1sp Cinelli has a ‘wobble’ feeling in the rear wheel when riding. I haven’t been able to isolate the issue or the circumstances, but it’s mainly when free-wheeling and it feels like the wheel were shaped like a wavy washer instead of a circle. Any ideas?
Hub and bearings are good;
axle isn’t bent;
locknuts are tight;
frame isn’t cracked,
clincher tyre is seated and inflated properly;
rim is straight and aligned in the dropouts.
Only thing I can think of is the spoke tension, but I don’t have a measuring tool for them and they all feel/sound ok.
