Yes, there is a bit of lateral deflection. You can actually reach down from the seat and push the front rim a half inch or so to the side. Very strange. When holding the front end off the ground and spinning the tire, it looks out-of-round, but rides fine. As far as staying true, I don't know if it would come up, with the bike having suspension all the way around the axle. Maybe if one of the loops cracked or something....

a BMX might be cool, a 24" might have a BB high enough. but I'm not sure how much more wheel base you get with a 24, you might be better off with the 20". I do like those skyway T/A bikes they put out recently, could be fun on one of them
those Loopwheels look neat but I would be concern that they would eat up some of the power from your pedal stroke and make the drive mushy, how do you like them?
Doesn't have a mushy feel at all. The front is tuned soft enough that you can easily feel the suspension, just pushing down on the bars. The back wheel is tuned stiffer tho', and only reacts to harsher hits. I'll be riding it around a lot more this weekend, so will follow up next week. Also, I found, after several hours of different online searches, a new leftover Bully for sale.
Shop wants $450 for it, so might pull the trigger....
