Malcolm,
I inspected the wheel for signs if problems and nothing is obvious. I
plan to rotate the wheels later this week and see if it goes to another
wheel. I hope the problem is in the hub or axle (that sounds stupid,
doesn't it) The reason is that Those wheels are impossible to replace.
So I will have to buy a whole new set and I don't want to do that.
Hmmmm, maybe I can get the guy who hit me to spring for a new set of
Chrome Wires????
