Wobble after knock over
my 2015 48 was backed into and knocked over recently.. Mangled the front fender and broke a turn signal .. Guy took off.. Now from 50-60 mph I have a wobble especially on decel.. I need to check my air pressure and then my spokes then get the wheel checked? Any thoughts? Thanks,

Could be any number of things. Wheel knocked out of center. Wheel weight from where your tire was balance at the factory. You can check the fall away in this video. You sure the fork tubes wasn't bent. Hope you catch the A--Hole that did it, that's the same as hit and run. Check your fall away first and make sure your wheel spins true.

Getting it fully checked at a shop is a good idea, however you may want to check somethings yourself also. First thing I would do is lift the bike and spin the front wheel checking for any abnormalities. While at it I would loosen the front axle nut a little and tighten again in order for it to sit properly if it moved some. I would also loosen and tighten again one at a time the bolts that secure the fork tubes to the fork brackets. If the fork shifted some that will help set it back. Some of the folks that run track bikes do that routinely (the fork tubes reset) because of the forces on the front end they deal with. Now if the fork got bent, that's a different story.
