I got a flat yesterday. i got a new inner tube. replacing went fine but after i put everything back the tire wobbled.
is there some thing i missed tightening something.besides the two nut on the outside.
if someone knows what i missed i will be grateful.
 
You probably don't have the tire seated on the rim correctly. Inflate the tire only part way. Grab the tire with both hands and and rock it back and forth, working your way around the wheel. Inflate a little more and check again. Make sure it's as close to even as you can get it before inflating all the way.
 
On most bicycle tires there is a ring (the circumference of the tire). It will be where the wheel meets the tire. Make sure the tire is mounted in the wheel so you can see the ring evenly. After full inflation check wheel/tire, you may have to let air out and adjust then inflate.
