I have had a problem with my mountain bike in that the rear brake pads keep
rubbing on the wheel rim and no amount of adjustment seemed to prevent this.
On closer inspection I have noticed that when I disconnect the rear brake
and spin the wheel it appears to be slightly buckled. All the spokes are
still solidly attached. This might sound a really silly question but if I
leave the rear brake disconnected will it be safe to ride until the weekend
when I can get the LBS to have a look at it or would it be best to leave it
alone? Is it possible for a wheel to catastrophically fail on a ride?
Thanks
