I recently bought the WTP Metric, and i tighten the back bolts as much as i can, and the axle still wobbles even though the pegs are firm.  Thanks for any help.

Sounds like the axle is bent.  Is there any play in the wheel when it's tight?  Meaning put the bike upside down, and try to move the wheel side to side.  If it doesn't move then you probably have a bent axle, but if it does move you may need to tighten the cones on the hub.  Also if you take off the wheel try to spin the axle with your hands to see if it is bent.

yup, sounds either like a bent/broken(probably not since sounds like u could still ride it)

or if its the wheel itself that has the side to side play then it might just be adjusting the cones

Thanks for the help guys, I think the cones might be loose.  I doubt the axel bent though because I only had this bike for about 3 weeks, and it still rides fine, just jumps around.  I'll get right on fixing that.
