Is it an offset Synergy rim? That does not look like a braking wear issue (although the rim looks well worn). The fracture is below the brake track. David Lipsky Berkeley, CA On Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at 12:20:21 PM UTC-7, Paul Richardson wrote: > > thanks all for the responses so far. and s

You'd have to have that spoke under massive load to break the rim like that unless the rim was already knackered. Check your front rim for wear on the brake track. It might be time for two new rims. FWIW, if you have the right size spoke wrench, you could do the rim swap yourself and just take

What Joe says, but also check the hub itself. Loose cones can cause a wobble. A cracked hub flange will also cause wobble. Even a worn out rim will hold true if there are no cracks in the rim itself. There is also a possibility the thread on one or more spokes/nipples has for some reason stripp
