Buckled Rear Wheel

[Jimmy Welch]

Hi any suggestions welcome , I had a slight wobble on me rear wheel , so took it off bike to check , when I put it back on to start adjusting tension in spokes I didn't fully engage the axel in the drops and the wheel as well as being out in relation to the brakes was also catching on the rear stays which which made the balancing impossible when I realised my mistake I'd adjusted the wheel into oblivion , what's the next move here

Take it to your LBS and see if they can fix the buckle. Otherwise you might need a new rim and/or rebuild

Should be salvageable. If you don’t feel comfortable following one of the YouTube videos take it to your LBS as suggested.

If it’s a budget bike then buy a budget wheel off eBay. If it’s not then LBS as others have said. They will tell you whether it’s economical to repair or not.

Slacken off all spokes and start again with re-tensioning. But might be better taking it to lbs
