Hey Grant,
So my friends riding with me noticed that the sprocket and the hub is not spinning true. This what I meant by the wobble. I noticed that it was not riding as smooth as it usually does.
When I put the bike up on center stand and spin the tire I DONT notice that the tire is spinning wrong. However, when the bike is turned on and put into first I noticed that sprocket/hub is not true. I checked to see if the chain adjusters on both side were perfect, they were a little off. When I fixed it and tightened the axle bolt really hard it helped a bit. I wonder if there is something wrong with my sprocket? I wonder if the guy who installed the sprocket carrier bearing installed it improperly.
I took a small wrench to the spokes and found a few that sounded unlike the others. Could these few loose spokes cause all of this?
In regards to my wheel bearing, I think tight is not the right word. I think the wheel bearing is not spinning very smooth. Not like the new sprocket bearing.
I also held a small wrench a mm from the wheel and noticed that it touched in a few places. I am pretty sure that the wheel spaces are installed properly. They have broken into two, but it has been like for a while without any problems.
So does this conclude that my tire is balanced and that the issue is either in my sprocket/wheel?
Thanks for you input Grant!!!
-Ben
