Cheers pal, was able to fix my kids bike wheel after watching this. All the other videos made it appear far more complex. Don’t normally comment but wanted to give props.

Dude...You just saved me from spending a bunch of money for a truing stand. The zip tie trick worked like a charm. Thanks.

This was the most clearest and simple explanation (without complication) on how to adjust bicycle wheel spokes. Thank you!

Thanks Mate, Bike shop wanted $45 to true up my wheel. I bought the tool for $14, and have just trued it myself, using your video. Saved $30, and now I own the tool as well. Legend!

Must admit I was skeptical about this but...just fixed my front wheel using a zip cable ties as you showed. Thanks for showing this...

Now it makes sense. Everyone who has ever taught me how to do this has made it way more complicated than it needed to be.

Thank you subbed and liked! Works great i did it on my bike. I would highly recommend using a marker or chalk to mark the area that needs adjustment . I use a washable marker.

Man that was more simple than I thought. A zip tie and a spoke tool :) thanks for the informative quick video

Forgot to mention to losing the opposite side of the spokes as you tighten the spokes, not doing so will also pull the rim towards the hub creating a flat spot. Also try and get all the tension of the spokes as even as possible or spokes will break

Wow!! That was a easy one , I thought I need to spend money again to buy some stands to align that but I was wrong .. cheers pal for help . Perfect DIY.

where did you get those sandals?

Every video I've watched was so complicated and hard to follow. This is so to the point and you broke down the concept very well. Thanks for the video mate, top quality.

Thank u so much! I just fixed my wheel tuning.

Nice! I work at a bike shop and hadn't seen this trick before. I have a wheel with a nasty wobble that I'd much rather put time in on at home but didn't want to buy a stand (or cart a shop one home for an evening). This trick is so simple that I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it myself. Bravo!

Good idea, I was just thinking about what to use as a guide, I’ll definitely try this.

Very informative, easy to follow instructions. Thank you.

Cool! I've watched a few other videos... and only this one really helped me understand how to tighten the right spokes! Thank you!

The one video that made most sense to me! Thanks you!

Hardest bit of trueing a wheel is remembering which way to turn to tighten! Thanks for the vid, I just did this but used my brake pad to remove a slight bend that I could hear when freewheeling downhill

A cool good teacher with patience, thanks for posting. Your 👌 in my book. 👍's up!

Excellent video over-all.Thank you!

Space between the forks minus the width of the rim, and this dividend in half. This is how much space should be between the rim and fork on each side. Correct as needed until it is so for the entire wheel. Tighten ¼ turn at a time and then check. All this work should ideally be with the tire off, so as to ensure that the inner tube is not going to be damaged by the end of a spoke protruding where it shouldn't after it has been tightened.

Thanks for your video...Well done!

Finally someone explains how to do this quickly and concisely. Thx.

Thank you for this!! Had an accident and tire was really out of round, takes patience, and counter clockwise TIGHTENS...!

Great video, easy to understand! I think you would make a great replacement for Mr. Rogers here in the US (that's a compliment by the way)

Is the same procedure I used for to check the clearance of a paramotor cage to propeller.They tend to flex a bit...

This video goes straight to the point 👌 and it works. Good

This is gold! Cheers for sharing 👍

Dude this was the simplest explanation I've visited like 4 other videos and they made it so difficult for me to understand what you needed to do. I might just be stupid too, but thank you so much. lol

Man I thank you for this. You have learned me a new thing. Lots of videos on YT but this one really helped. Wish you all the best.

KZfaq is my GOTO place to know things, thanks pal, that was great

Amazing thanks for the video. Just ordered my spoke tool

Nice tutorial easy way of guiding not much explanation compared to other tutorials direct on the point. Thank u man your awesome

Thanks for posting this! It helped me a lot! Thumbs up!

This is one of the best Bike Diy! Good job! Thanks!

Thx man Im going to try this. .

Thank you great tutorial !

Can i compare the rim to the rim brake pads instead of a zip tie? Thanks for the video it helped me fix a very small wobble in my tire i noticed it while riding a 15 mile commute

clear instructions- to move everything left, need to tighten the spokes on the left, will give it a try

Thanks for simple tips

Thanks a lot for the tip, I found it very helpful.

Thank u brother . U made it so much easier

Great video, extremely interested, informative, appreciate it, keep it up.

great will have a go tomorrow, doing a pair of old Raleigh stainless rims, thankyou

Big help. Good tips. 👍

Good job dude ! Gonna try this

I like your spoke inspired sandals!

Thank you so much best vid to true my wheels, twist tie works perfect!

"How to true a wheel?"..."you come to me,...on the day of my daughyers wedding?"...."and ask, can I true a wheel?"

thanks man,very helpful !

Good job brother thank you very much you are the best in the world God bless you...👍

thanks for the video, i had the same problem, problem is solved because of this video

True legend just used your method and fixed my bike thank you so much domas u saved me £80 today

Cool! Saved me $30 a wheel at the bike shop! Thanks

Great video! But I'm a little confused... For every spoke that you tighten, shouldn't the opposite spoke adjacent to the spoke on the opposite side be loosened? Im trying to replace a broken spoke that is on the freewheel side and noticed that my rim got bent. It got bent enough to where I had to unhook the brake calipers to keep the wheel from rubbing the brake calipers. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

This is the best way to true a wheel without buying expensive instruments. Thank you very much.

Great 👍 video you helped me to fix my ebike rear wheel was bent I used a pencil and rubberband

Awesome videos, going to try it

Hi Mate, always go back to this video, thanks. I miss your videos,watched all of them and enjoyed your touring . Hopefully your well 👍

extremely easy to understand ,thanks

Great video ..well done

Good job explaining

Thanks very much for this. I have a question: How do you know that the problem is that the opposite side needs tightening and not that the other side needs loosening? In other words, what if the opposite is properly tight but the close side is not - so couldn't you run the risk of over tightening? Thanks.

Very good idea indeed. I'm gonna try do this. Cheerios.

could you put another zip tie on the other side of the rim the same distance apart , would that help to see how the other side is doing or would that not make a difference ?

Thank you!

Excellent I can do it myself now

It has ocurred to me that you are truing the wheel to the zip cable, not to its center. Does it make any sense to you?

Brilliant. Thank you.

Do you have to take your to off for this to work?

Great tip, thanks.

thanks so much for this

Nice and simple. Good idea using a ziptie. Thank you.

This dude is great. Straight to the point & no fancy / annoying background music! (Except semi naked , perhaps it’s really hot where he is but I can live with that as long as no background music where you can hardly hear anything.........I’ve watched quite a few videos where they use screwdriver but I like this method but only problem is for me is that I accidentally tighten quite a few or too many and now the whole wheel is tight most part so I will need a video that shows ‘How to True spokes completely or something similar down the line” moral of the story is always follow instructions

You made it simple! Everyone else talks about crap they normally use!!

Thx !!

Excellent. Thank you.

My question is how do you decide which side of the wheel you should put the zip tie on if you are using just a single zip tie? Does it matter?

What will happen in the long run if you leave the wheel like it is in the first place without truing? Generally if it needs some truing for sure, but it`s not awful

Super nice explanation.

Great advice thanks

Great video that anyone can follow!

Just so clear and simpel, great hack as well

Thanks you saved my time❤.

thanks, I will do this idea...

Thank you so much

solved a problem for me that I would have had to pay for, thanks for the great advice and video! I am calm again...

twisted bladed spoke is pretty nice :)

Shouldn’t we tighten up left rims then loosen up the antagonist rims ? Instead of only tightening ?

excellent!

very hepfull, thanks! Can you make a video how to clean a very dirty bike?

Thank you for this

There is also issue with spoke tension, so if you pool or lose too much the spoke it will effect recommended spoke tension. So, each will, brand tyope of rim and spoke, has own tension spoke table, (like DT Swiss etc).

Thanks dude 🙏🙏🙏 it works..💯💯💯

Good video. Thanks.

Thank you

wow, easy and simple.

You got a sub from me, can't find a cycle shop that has a big enough jig for my fat tyre ebike, thanks again. 👍

Thanks mate you saved me some money you earned a sub for it Cheers.
