Bent mag wheel

[Wrench]

Never heard of a warped (bent) 3 spoke Mag wheel, especially on the front

Maybe the tire & tube isn't seated correctly, Maybe a bent axle, Maybe a loose wheel bearing

Take the tire and tube off check the axle and wheel bearings to make sure they're good.
Then put the wheel without tire back on the forks and spin it to check if it's warped

Not unless it was rammed into a brick wall...lol...lol.

You have checked to be sure you don't have a loose wheel bearing ???

It doesn't seem loose



There's a video of it spinning

Checked wheel bearing, not loose, still wobbly

I can clearly tell it isn't a tire/tube issue, the rim is spinning in the same way

I was just riding and suddenly noticed it was wobbling a ton

After checking it out some more, I believe it's a bent axle, which I have no idea how to fix

New axle.

I don’t understand how a bent axle can make a wheel wobble…unless the axle is spinning…turning.

Axles are locked down with nuts on the end. The wheel bearings do the spinning.

Possibly make a wheel lean if the axle is bent…

Exactly what I was thinking, it will cause a lean and/or bearing bind.

Bearings not in their seat correctly, or a distorted hub could cause this.

But in this case it certainly looks like a messed up rim.
