wobbling rear right tire

[Uptown_Blaster]

Like the title said, my rear right tire is wobbling when I'm riding. Its definitely noticeable and it looks stupid. I'm guessing that this means my axle is bent somewhere but I'm not sure. What could it be? How would I go about figuring it out.

ps - I tightened the castle already because I thought that might help but it didn't.

its either that the axle is bent or a wheel is bent

need to lift the back and up... and spin it.. try to look as see if they rim is bent or if its the axle.... if rim looks ok, take the wheel off and spin the axle you will notice if its bent or not..

that reminds me.. alot look at the tire.. if you broke a belt in the tire or there is abuldge in tghe sidewall it will give the same feeling.. i rode my 200x almost all winter like that

Well I know for a fact it not the tire and actually did lift it up and spin it. The tire was all over the place. I did not take the tire off and spin it yet but I will do that first thing in the morning.

ok will notice a bent axle for sure..

mine was bent to the point i could see it with out taken the wheel off... ..


if it turns out you bent it and dont have a spare axle.. i got a straight one.. cheap

Well since I'm probably going to need that, how much are you asking. Also is it a complicated process to change the axle?

naaa axles are a snap to swap... i can do them in like 10 min as long as the hub nuts and axle nuts come loose.. ..

take brake caliper off, take chainoff, wheels off, pul the cotter pins from the ends of ther axle, take off the hub nuts, take fof the 2 axle nuts, slide axle out, come sout the right side, than revers the process for install...



cheapest by now axle on ebay is 30 bucks+ shippin... so $20 plus shipping ( i dont try to make money on shipping so what ever ups tells me is what it will cost)

I'll take it. How would I go about paying you?
