Problem with Stolen Sinner 2012 rear wheel
Hello all,
I have just recieved a Stolen Sinner 2012 that I ordered from dans. Fantastic bike aside from one thing. The rear wheel is not feeling quite right. There is a light clicking sound on every rotation of the wheel as well as a slight bouncing/side to side motion. Can mainly be felt when cruising on a smooth road. Also can be felt when quickly spinning the wheel when im off the bike. I checked and the wheel is true so it leads me to believe it is the hub. Brakes arent rubbing either. Any ideas or experiences with similar probs? Hate to have to rebuild the hub as it is only two days old.
Look forward to your replies.

The bouncing could be a wheel that needs to be dished, and you just see it side to side because the tire isn't mounted correctly, like Dan said. Take it to a shop and see what they say?
