How much is it wonky?
Unless the rim is visibly kinked or bent, it should be possible to straighten it by adjusting / re-tensioning the spokes.

The spoke ring thing needs replacing and all needs re lacing and sorting out. I'll get it done eventually but need it for wye valley as my mate wants to borrow it. Quicker and cheaper to buy a spare one.

I did the Edinburgh Trial on it last week, so I took it to Sportax Racing on the way up to buy some bits and change tyres. Once Gary saw the back wheel you should have seen his face! :o :o :o

"I wouldn't even ride it to the shops!" I think is what he said.

So anyway, I did the trial, then rode over to near Shrewsbury to attend the oddballs rally, then ride back. As long as I ride over 50 or 60 mph it makes the wobble disappear. The slower you go the more of a definite weave from the backend there is.
