Wheel shape
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Today I noticed that my front and back wheels tend to be slightly out of shape. Every time the wheel goes round there tends to be 2-3mm of movement. Also my breaks seem to be putting on a little resistance however does not seem much. Is there any point taking the bike into the store to get straightened?
Thanks

I think I'd be taking it to the shop.
Get it fixed. Last thing you want are your wheels giving in at high speed, for the money you pay its peace of mind and makes riding your bike more enjoyable.
Haven't done it in ages since i got half decent wheels but take the wheels past your lbs and get them "trued" (round again) i think its like $15 / $20 a pop?? Doesn't take very long for them to do and rather do it now before it gets even worse and could cost you a lot more.
Thanks very much for your help, I'll take my bike in this weekend and see what they can do.
