I recently got a flat rear tire changed at a LBS, and went on a 20 mile ride afterwards. During the ride I noticed I had this problem: When climbing hills, whenever I reached steep gradients and tried to pedal forcefully my rear wheel would come untrue to the point it was rubbing against my frame, making it impossible to pedal. I got off and put the wheel back into place, but I had the same problem at steep gradients the rest of the ride. Any ideas?

If the problem did not exist before, then you probably simply need to [B]tighten[/B] your skewer ... BTW. If your wheel currently has an skewer with an ALLOY mechanism, then you should give serious thought to replacing it with either a SHIMANO or CAMPAGNOLO or almost ANY vintage skewer which is long enough to use with your rear wheel.
