Improvised wheel truing
I wanted to see if the small wobble was the tire or the rim, but I don't have a truing stand.
I borrowed this idea from somewhere in the bike touring community, and it happens to work pretty well.
It turns out the wobble is a little bit the rim -- it was "close enough to true," but I wanted to be a bit more precise -- and a little bit of the tire.
This tire and rim combination is a breeze to mount, never leaks air and overall is pretty good. The problem lies in removing the tire, which is not as easy. If I partially remove the tire, maybe I can reposition it to get the wobble out. I don't know, I think I may be too picky and may just let this go.
I removed the Salsa Wanderlust rack that's almost sort of visible after I shot the photo.
