Alright, I am finally doing some ASSEMBLY on this thang-- I had to loosen the rear derailleur to get the back wheel off (seven speed) to put on the rear sprocket... ok well I now have everything back together, and I'm tightening the rear sprocket to get it into lateral true... and no matter how much I tighten and try to balance it, it's still out of lateral true...
so I loosen everything up and try to better straighten the sprocket, and it's as close as I can get it... and then I realize the whole back wheel is wobbling! I can't get the sprocket straight because the back wheel isn't!
I loosened the back wheel up, play with it, pedal it real fast to try to get it to straighten and true itself, and it doesn't seem to get any better...
The rear derailleur is also now kind of skipping, but not in QUITE the same place (so I don't think it's a kink in the chain). it skips a little after each complete revolution of the pedals.
Suggestions of what I should be looking at to straighten the back wheel?
It's off of lateral true by maybe at least a millimeter...
