fruitbat Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 again it does depend how bad the buckle is, it could actually be bentGet a pic up and we will be able to tell, or get someone who knows how to build / true wheels to take a look at itFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 If the wobble is more than about 5cm from side to side then you probably won't get it straight ever again. But if it's less then there's a decent chance that you'll get it straight enough not to rub on the brakes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
