Fairly new to mtb riding, this will be my 2nd season riding, so when come to technical stuff about my bike I'm still learning that being said...
went riding today and when we finished riding I noticed my back wheel was warped, and had quite few spokes lose, so took it to local bike shop
hoping could get it back true. He took back wheel off looked at it and said couldn't do anything with it, but told me all I needed was rim and could use my existing things from my wheel to rebuild new one. So I was ok with that but problem it's a specialized roval 29er (not carbon) he couldn't order it cause not specialized dealer, so I called specialized dealer they said they couldn't get it either. But could get wheels set for 700$. And not looking to spend that and nothing is wrong with my front. I know I could buy different brand wheel, but like these wheels and like to keep both front and back the same. So took it to another local specialized dealer, just to get their opinion. Mechanic there got it back within 1mm of being true. To me sounds good but like I said I'm not at that great of a technical level yet. So would you guys run it, with it being within 1mm of being true ? And if do run it could it potential mess something else up worse ? Or do I need to start wheel shopping ?
Thanks for your help and opinions
