Phil~

Sounds like you have a wheel that is not true. While this can come from the factory, it's not too common, more likely it's caused by being jammed hard somehow. I was not real impressed with those stock aluminum rims...pretty light duty if you ask me. One more thing to point out, and it's quite obvious but heck...fooled me for a while...check to make sure your lugs are tight and that there isn't anything between the back of the wheel and the hub.

I've never hit anything with the left rear wheel, It was like that on the day I bought it. I looks as though the tire is not well seated on the rim, but I can't see anything abnormal. It does not wobble to the point of effecting the ride quality, just a small annoying detail. Would like to know if others have the same problem.

Siverbear: Did your left whell wobble with the factory wheels? Did changing the wheels fix it?

* Just wondering if it is the axel or the wheel. I can't tell.

A couple of people are having this problem....but dont know if it is the seating of the tire or the wheel itself. Take it back to the dealer and MAKE them fix it. Also, let us know what happens??would ya?

I personally have not experienced this on either of our bikes. Will let you know if my new tires have a wobble to them. Will be picking up the bike with the new Dirt Devils 27" tomarrow.
