Gunna go and look at it in a mo, but what are ppl thoughts?
Really noticable on the road (maybe my paranoia about it make it feel worse than it is?) but nothing once off-road.
I had thought it might be the tyre just not sitting right on the wheel, but as the wobble feels outragously I'm really not sure as it look pretty reasonable when spun, and there seems little movement in the wheel when wobbled to check for bearing movement.
Have broken a Hope axle previously, not sure how to prove this, as it a c'dale wheel that seemingly cup & cone.

Gunna pull the xmas lights off & take alook while I change the chainset

A small amount of movement, or mishaping at the hub could result in a lot of vibration or wobbling at the rim. Once off road it's probably countered by the rough surfaces etc.

found a really loose spoke, so reckon the it may have been flexing with my weight when riding but looked fine(ish) un-weighted.
Now what local bike shops are open for some magura brake pads...
