It is obviously warped when I spin it but there are no real lose spokes and I can't hardly notice any ride difference until I'm in the 3 highest gears wide open. I think I'll ride it a bit, maybe try to learn how to straighten it with a spoke wrench. Unfortunately it's a bit over an hour just to get a wrench.
I just may learn more about tinkering with these bikes on this one since it fits me. I may just play rough on this rim and buy a new set of rims and tires later. I saw some that looked pretty fair for a set on Amazon for around $150. I would rather wait and learn enough to do it myself than pay the bike shop as much for onerim
