I don't think I'd take anymore road gear trips until I found out why! Jack up one rear wheel at a time, (KEEPING THE BRAKE FOR THE OTHER WHEEL LOCKED!) put it in neutral, and rotate the wheel. See if it wobbles, or if it runs out-of-round. If it doesn't run true, set something next to it to use as a guide, and try to determine if the problem is in the axle, the wheel, or the tire. It could be as simple as something bent, something installed incorrectly, or a defective tire.
If I let my SM set for a week or so without running, the rear tires on it tend to "flat-spot." Working it a few minutes fixes it.
