Cosmos Bike Fixing

[kidnovarage@gmail.com]

Hey everybody

 

So I have a really old Cosmos bike (~50 years) that was from my mom's godfather. Recently I've shipped the bike to Hungary where I'm currently working. My girlfriend's dad and me fixed the bike up but we noticed that the back wheel has an inward bent that really annoys me when I'm riding. There are no side bent as we tweaked those already. How should I got about this? Should I just buy a new wheel or should we try to true it?

You might have a hard time finding a new wheel for the frame depending on what the size and specs are.

A good wheel builder should be able to sort it out or give you options on replacing it.

As mentioned above, a wheel builder should be able to help if the nipples aren't all rusted or corroded. Otherwise you can simply have the wheel relaced with new stainless spokes but retain the existing rim and hub. Most good bike shops should offer this service.
