Hi All,
New bikie (is that even a term? I don't know) here.
Removed my front bike wheel in order to patch the tube. When I replaced it, the wheel rolls in a funny way.
The wheel is attached by a thru-axle quick release system (bruh, I had to look that up). I might or might not have tightened it enough, or tightened it too much. I don't know.
Here's a video of the front wheel spinning wonkily. [shareyoutube]https://youtube.com/shorts/rDAqSM6RSy0?feature=share[/shareyoutube]
Any thoughts?

• deflate the tyre; grip the tyre with your hands squeezing both sides as you work around it, to seat the tyre bead in the rim;
• inflate the tyre until it is soft, but not flat;
• repeat the first step above, again working right around the rim;
• inflate until the tyre is firm to touch, and slowly eye the tyre right around the rim to ensure it is seated;
• if all goes well with that previous step, inflate to full pressure.
Other causes:
• Possibly the QR is not securely closed
• Nuts securing the hub bearings on one or both sides have worked loose

Thanks @P!N20! Looked it up. Looks like a process. Will take my time to work through it.
Found this. https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/worksh ... ue-a-wheel
