Hi I recently sent my back regarding a warranty issue as axle was cracking and bearings had gone due to it cracking and bending. Received the wheel back and since getting it back I've noticed that the wheel and rotor do not spin true and both slightly bend out at same point the rotor is true has been put on flat surface on both sides and is true as. Really confused to what this could be and is tricky to explain. I have 142/12mm thru axle if that's any help.

    It might be one of the new bearings hasn't been drifted in properly, and is sitting slightly askew in the hub?

    A bent axel would not cause a wobble.
