This video is almost 8 years old & has the most clear explanation on how to true a rim. Every other video confused me, this one was straight to the point & i actually learned something. Thanks bro !

I was able to just straighten mine with a regular old adjustable wrench!! I know it's not recommended cuz it might strip the spokes but it worked in a pinch..

It might take rebuilding a wheel. But good luck have fun. I can tell you you can fix some wheels which are really out of whack, but it takes a bit of time and knowledge.

Thanks for this. I tried this once in junior high - I was winging it and the result was a disaster. After that I was too intimidated to try again until I watched this. Today I got the rims on my bike and my wife's bike straight as an arrow and the brakes adjusted perfectly. Thanks again.

That is fantastic, Out of all my years of having bicycles I never knew this was possible.I always assumed if my bicycle rim would wobble it was caused from being bent or if I has loose spokes I would just tighten the snot out of them... Good Stuff & thanks for sharing!

youll make your wheel far less true by just tighteniong them... this example is nothing like a normal tire requires to properly true.

I started doing my own a few years ago, way more cool than paying a small fortune at a shop ,all these helpful vids on you tube mean you can all do it yourself, just be brave and go for it ,air forks are easier than you think /bottom brackets/ all will save you money 💰 doing it yourself and you get satisfaction you've fixed yourself own bike 🚲 🤟🇬🇧💯

Using this technique I was amazed how well I was able to true this wobbly bicycle rim. Just happened to have the tire off and the inner rubber liner as well. The back side of the tightening screws for the spokes on this wheel were slotted for a regular screw driver. Using the screwdriver instead of a wrench or pair of pliers made the task even easier. This wheel is spinning like a roulette wheel now. Thank You for your informative video.

​@luigiprovencher8888 bike shops often work with minimum prices. If I want anything done at a local place they will bill parts + minimum an hour labour, even if it's 5 minutes. 1 hour and 10 minutes is billed 2 hours etc. And theyre always full of bikes waiting to be repaired. So maybe it's the same for this guy, but I agree, fixing should be much cheaper than replacing new to not promote waste economies

Thank you for such a no-bullshit answer to what starts as an easy question! These other guys, "The thing of it is..." And once they've done complaining about "that one time" and telling the story of their stupid friend and the day their niece got their first whatever, and sprinkle in some technical jargon "the ACTUAL nipple ITSELF" makes me furious. As William Zinsser put it in On Writing Well: Say your thing with as few and small words as possible without compromising the meaning, then make for the nearest exit.
