Horribly out of true wheel
Hey guys, I had a crash a few weeks ago that took out my back rim brake and many spokes lost tension. I took the brake off and it seemed ridable, but a few hundred miles later I was pushing hard on a group ride and it felt unstable. After getting home I took a spoke wrench to the thing, like half of the spokes were super loose, but I have no idea what im doing and now the wheel is horribly out of true, way worse than when I started. I took it out on a 30 mile ride and it rode great, and some roadies I talked to said its OKAY and not dangerous. What is the worst case scenario if I just keep riding with a badly out of true wheel? Is there a chance it will fail catastrophically?
As far as im concerned, an out of true wheel is mainly a problem if it rubs against the brakes. If you remove the brakes, it becomes a problem if it starts rubbing against the frame. Am I wrong? It wont like taco or anything right? Not trying to put more money into this bike
