Rear wheel out of true

    My rear wheel is out of true - not so much that it is rubbing against the brake pads (which are pretty close to the point of needing to be replaced), but definitely enough to need sorting. I don't notice any difference when I am cycling.

    I'm not confident enough to do it myself without making a pigs arse of it, and the earliest the bike shop will take it is next Monday 8th. Should I stop using it until it is sorted or is it ok to keep going till next week?

    In theory, you're putting more stress on some spokes than others, and so you're more likely to break one.

    That said, if your brakes are reasonably tight and it's not hitting the pads, you should be fine until next week.
