Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

Without looking at your wheel I'm going to guess that you need a new rim.

"Trueing" a wheel adjusts for manufacturing tolerances but isn't an adequate fix for a bent rim. You can use spoke tension to pull the wheel into line, but the loose tension on the other side will create problems with those spokes.
