Bent wheels?
When I went to have my tires rotated recently at Discount Tire, the tech informed me that apparently 3 out of 4 of my wheels are bent. The bends are subtle, so you can't see them or feel them - it was only noticeable to him on the balancing machine. He said it would cost like $175 per wheel to have them repaired. I'm wondering, is this something I should do? I don't feel vibrations when I ride, but I'm worried about this voiding my tires' warranty.

my 19 GS has a small rhythmic vibration that comes and goes in 1-2 second intervals. ALL tires were road forced to 10lbs or less, two had been 30lb plus and replaced. Could the vibration be coming from bent wheels or out of balance tires. I always believed constant vibration were tires in most cases. Harmonic rhythmic types of vibrations could be slightly bent wheels. I've got 2400 miles on it and its possible I could have bent one on these roads with some pretty sharp edged pot holes although I try and watch for them carefully. Any similar?
