Hello, i have a Specialized Globe commuter bike, only done about 300 miles. It has developed a front wheel wobble and when i take a my hands off the bars it gets even worse.

I have took the reflector off the spokes, the wheel isn't buckled, is it possible that the wheel needs balancing?

Just for a bit more information, it has 700c Alex Rims wheels with the car type valve.

Please help as it is really annoying me.

    take it back to the shop for sorting.

    either the spokes needs retensioning or the bearings need looking at or your headset is lose. it needs looking at.

    Make sure the reflector is mounted across/adjacent from the valve stem.
