Hi everyone,
my girlfriend recently bought a Peugeot town bike with a few issues, the worst of which is the fact that the rear wheel has a serious amount of wonk to it, as illustrated below:
YouTube - wonky wheel
I reckon there's a good 10-12mm wobble in there. As I've never trued a wheel before but have access to a spoke key, can anyone advise as to whether to bother or am I best off just ditching it and getting a new wheel?
Thanks for the help, as always.
