Rear wheel hop?

Hey everyone.

I just purchased a set of dura ace c24 wheels and had my LBS install them a few days ago and there was a slight side to side wobble which they fixed by trueing the wheel.

I took it for a spin yesterday and something felt slightly off. Normally my wheels feel like they spin perfectly with no disruptions. Yesterday was different.

Yesterday my rear wheel felt like t had a slight hop in it at one point in the rotation. It almost felt as if every three feet or so my rear wheel would roll over a slight bump. There is still no side to side wobble on that wheel. Also, if I put the bike in a stand and pedal hard, the bike has a slight bounce to it, something I have not experienced before.

Is this normal? If not, what is likely the cause and how do I go about getting it fixed?

Thanks in advance for the replies.
