In an attempt to get my bike back in service while I attempt to repair the problems with cassette on the original wheel, I have used another wheel. This one only had five sprockets instead of seven on it, but I adjusted the deraileur and it seems to change gears ok.
The problem I now ran into is that when I spin the wheel...I see it moving a bit laterally and rubbing one of the brake calipers (does this in two spots actually) and also noticed that one of these bad spots also has a radial 'flat spot' that looks to be about 4 spokes along the rim in length.
After watching the tutorial on truing a wheel, I gathered to loosen spokes to allow the flat spot to move away from the hub. But the spokes in this area are already loose...what do you do to correct this kind of problem?
I do not have a truing stand, been attempting to do this on the bike.
