Hi!
Some info:
I checked spoke tension, theyre all fine and I check them pretty often. The wheel doesnt have any movement when stationary and I tried repositioning it but that looks fine as well…
So im guessing the wheel bent?
Ive been riding my bike daily +-20 km a day for 4-5 months a year for the last 6 years, mostly flat surface with some gravel and some up and downs from sidewalks, but nothing too rough.
I am a heavy dude, 185cm 110 kg and carry a 10-15 kg back pack usually. So I thought maybe my weight slowly ruined the wheel.
Any hopes for repair? I am a bit rough on money now so paying 100-150€ for a wheel and repair is… yeah. I can do stuff on my own like chain replacement and gears but I Dont want to mess with wheel alignment.

Yes, just get it trued by a shop.
Yes, and check the spokes, which, interestingly, take the lion’s share of the parts bill should you decide to build its replacement and upgrade
The rotor bolt Likely just came loose and got bent by the caliper mount.
The bend in the wheel can easily be trued straight again. You could DIY, or bring it to a shop
Ofcourse
