Been having a bit of trouble with my Mavic Aksium rear wheel. Yesterday, out for a long ride and half way through notice quite a wobble. Quite a lot of spokes were loose. I've tightened them all so none of them are obviously loose. But there's still a serious wobble, unsurprisingly as I didn't tighten the spokes in a thought out way, just tightened them all to make them not loose. Plus it doesn't even seem *that* round. Not sure about that. I've done my best to show it in this:



Is it fixable? Thanks.

    Just tightening up loose spokes most likely won't get the job done. You need to LEARN how to true a wheel. Can't teach you that on a forum. A little advise? Don't touch it again. Take it to a shop.

    Yes I knew that. I'm just worried it might be too wobbly, not round to be fixed by truing? Is that an incorrect worry? Thanks.

    Take it to a shop or learn by reading how to do the job.

    Righty hoe.

    So it's not too far gone then? No where near too far gone? I think it's the possible not roundness aspect that most worries me.

    Thanks.
