worried about wheels

Welcome to the forum Severedcorps. I would take the wheels to a bike shop and get them trued. You might want to skim through here for some reading. I know there is a bunch of stuff there might help you a bit. Feel free to ask questions.

I had broken a spoke a few days prior and decided to go to the bike shop (via my motorbike) to get half a dozen new spokes. I zip tied the broken spoke (it wouldn't come off because it broke on the nipple end) to a remaining non broken spoke and went on my way. It made it all the way there no problem, but half way home that zip tied spoke slid and punctured my tube. I had those pre-slimed tubes and it made a huge mess all over my bike/engine... more-so because it dried during my walk home haha.

Anyways when my tire blew my back end became wobbly feeling and I just came to a slow stop. I just focused on keeping my balance as my back wheel was going left and right about 3 inches either direction. I would take my wheels off and down to the local bike shop to have them trued and tension the spokes. The shops here charge anywhere from 7-15$ for such a service. Also wearing a good helmet is always the way to go for the motorbikes, you can replace a bike but replacing your head would prove quite difficult.

If it were me I would invest in heavy duty wheels and new tires. It is the foundation of your bike. One trip to the emergency room is more than the wheels and tires will cost. Worksman, Husky and others are available. I just got a used Worksman front wheel with the built in drum brake. I bet it weighs as much as four regular rims. Yeah, on a pedal bike that would be more weight to pedal around, but you have a motoredbike, which is now a different critter than you started out with. There's a lot of of mind and smooth riding with heavy, well made wheels.

A couple sites to check out for bike info besides this one Bicycle Tutor - Bike Repair Video Tutorials Sheldon Brown-Bicycle Technical Information and Atomic Zombie Extreme Machines! - Bikes Trikes and Choppers Plans is a good one . Husky makes a solid 24 inch tire I believe Pirate Cycles has a set of Husky 24's for $80.00 http://www.piratecycles1.com/hu24whset12g.html

Don't ride the bike with junk tires/rims, you wouldn't drive your car on junk would you?Your life is worth more than the cost to upgrade.

Truing wheels. ( making them run straight ) is not rocket science and I would not pay to have that done. Its quite easy to learn. Its not something I would explain right here but search over on youtube for a video maybe.

Mainly, If you are runnig a motorized bike this will be something that might be done more often because of the high mileage and higher speeds you might be running.

Sometimes those You tube videos are kind of crappy, If that ends up being the case.. check out Bicycle Tutor - Bike Repair Video Tutorials they have good proffesionally made videos.
