Wheel looks okay once you’re riding it , My crosstourer has a slight wobble as well when on centre stand. Maybe that’s the true of the wheel. As mine rides perfect.

Must be, thanks for letting me know.
Glad it's all sorted to for ya mate better to be safe than sorry fair play to rich ride safe as always 🤘🤘
Be getting that proper sorted prior running around the Alps, dont fancy a rear wheel issue or worse a collapse up the Furka anything off true cant be good when sticking a load of torque threw it at a minimum be pinging those spokes for tension check every couple of trips out. Stay safe, stay upright fella 👍
Slightly loose spokes will cause wheel to buckle, checking spokes is part of a service. The crap state of our roads at the moment doesn't help. Central Wheels is the place to check/fix it. All the best.
Tough choice but once it's in your head. Beautiful spoked rear single sider.
I know it's costly but for peace of mind and a big trip coming up I'd get it replaced, just to be on the safe side.
Rear wheel from F model. Fit and works excellent.

Thanks 👍🏻
Being totally honest it still looked like it was running out a bit on the centre stand and with the mileage you're going to pile on doing the Alps I think I would definitely get it looked at just from the aspect that it might affect the bearing and it will certainly be having an effect on tyre wear and the last thing you need is finding after 1000 miles it's ripping your tyre up.

Yes I agree, gonna look at a new wheel
To put my two pennies worth in, a good wheel builder will get that strait and true no need to buy new unless its damaged, the tyre needs to be removed to get the wheel perfect, works on principal the same as push bike race wheels, you may even find that one spoke or nipple may be stripped causing it to buckle again best thing is to find a real good builder before any other issues are caused (bearings, tyre, even abs sensors). (many years in vehicle workshops is where my opinion is coming from not from owning a bike as you know). the insta 360 felt like I was playing the PlayStation lol.

Yes thinking it needs sorting
If you were just doing low mileage locally then maybe leave it. But the big mileage on the Switzerland trip is a different thing. It might be fine, but you’ll spend the whole trip worrying about it and it will spoil the trip for you. Its worth going for a new one.

That’s my concern too
Keep the wheel. Even new there is a bit of play. 😊

Had a good chat with Central Wheel and he said exactly the same, some brand new tubeless spoked wheels can be worse than mine.
Once it’s in you’re head,tyres and wheels are a bugga to shift,but the wheel looks ok to me from the vid,new wheel or The Alps Hmmm 🤔 Yodel A E Dee🫣 Ride Safe Mr B 😎🤘
Seems good Craig I think you need have the 360 up front to get better views or just sell it to me 😂😂😂😂

Central wheels pal , not too far from you , they are the best at everything wheel related , they will get it cock on , I wouldn’t be happy running around with a wheel with that much run out , could eventually wreck your wheel bearings
Its a honda but keep i on it
Have you had too much weight on the back end. Should be a maximum total weight in the riders manual.
