So, I've been battling severe rear tire burping during the ride at Cranks this morning. Turns out that when I added some extra Stan's fluid to the tires (ironically, to make sure I would not have the exact problems that I actually had) I inflated both tires at 25 psi. I guess at 220 lbs that's not enough and the original 30 psi are more like.
That said, I did ride with a nearly flat tire on the rocks at Stephen's so looking at my wobbling wheel I wasn't exactly surprised by it. What did surprised me though is that I tried to true the rim on the stands and didn't have to work too much for it (it does help having a scratch on the rim that points exactly where the rim was hit), but now that the rim is straight I realize that the bulk of the wobbling is done by the tire. I'm going to reseat the tire on the rim but I was wondering if a tire can be actually be deformed (it wasn't when it was originally put on the rim) Tire is a 29"x2.3" 3C/EXO/TR Maxxis Minion DHR II.
