Okay to get right to the point. I have this old mtb that I just got
and the
back wheel had some major wobbles to it when I got it. I used the
tire and
frame as a guide and got the *big* wobbles out. Then last night I was
going
to ride it for my after dinner short ride and I had a flat tire, I
took the
wheel off the bike, took the tire and tube off the rim and patched
and
re-assembled. Now when I spin the wheel my tire rubs on my
chainstays. I
have tried changing the angle of the wheel slightly and it seems that
if I
do the tire rubs on the other side. Now I know this is probably
caused by
the tire not being mounted back on the rim in exactly the same place.
My
question should I try to *re-true* the back wheel using my tire /
frame
method. Or is there some other simpler solution to my problem?

Not necessarily 'simplier' but take the wheel to a decent bike shop.
have them true and dish the wheel and put the tire back on.
