    Quick worker….Only an hour
    Quick worker….Only an hour after you posted I replied.

    It could be true and not round if it was badly buckled and they put in the wrong size spoke. If they spoke size was wrong and it was true. It would be loose.

    Anything can be true. Even a square can be true. True just means accurately shaped or fitted.

    A true wheel would have to be shaped and fitted to the dimensions of a wheel 😉

    If you have a stand, put your bike on there, get a bit of chalk and spin the wheel fairly fast, hold the chalk to the wheel as it spins. Let the wheel stop itself, don’t brake it, then look at the chalk all the way round…..Is it the same distance from the tyre to the inside of the rim?

    Thats just a VERY simple method of looking to see if there is any misshaped parts 😉

    You are better starting flat
    You are better starting flat pedals if you are not used to fixie else you might do yourself some damage or even worse, do the bike some damage.

    I just got a “new to me” fixie and thought i’d be fine with it. I have another fixie, but haven’t ridden it in years. So on with the SPD pedals. First junction I had a “nearly” moment when I slowed and forgot I couldn’t freewheel. Unclipped both feet in a panic and looked like a numpty.

    If you don’t want to go flat, then take your SPD’s and adjust them for the littlest resistance of force needed to keep clipped in. That way you can clip out without thinking.

    You’ll only need a few rides to remember that you need to keep your legs going and to set a cadence that you are happy with and not going to make you want to freewheel at anytime. The only other thing apart from that is going downhill. If you forget and try to freewheel, Its going to hurt…..
