The best and easiest to understand video on the subject. The guy in the video concisely deals with the fundamentals in a no nonsense, layman's terms manner - something which most others fail to do. I used to think wheel truing an absolute no-go area..."it's too complicated, just leave it to the LBS"... I'd tell myself. But now, all because of this video, I'm right this very second off to peruse the internet for one of these Park wheel truing stands.

I never knew or understood what wheel truing is until now. My front & rear bicycle wheels wobbles causing it to skid or touch with the brake pads and it's a new bicycle that I already rode for about a distance of about 40 miles more or less using a gas power engine (moped my bicycle) to run like a motor scooter. I thought the problem was the hubs or the ball bearings in the hubs that got worn out so fast. I was about to replace the hubs until I check with my bicycle owner's manual which states possible cause of wheel wobbling, wheel out of true and among other things. So fortunately for me, I check youtube and came across this awesome demonstration video to understanding & fixing wobbling on a bicycle wheel, excellent explanatory & demonstration video! Thank you for posting this excellent explanatory & demonstration video! :)

@rollinrat48506 жыл бұрын
This is a great video! I would have liked to hear a little more regarding even spoke tension. I think that is the most important aspect of strong wheels. Also when making ALL spoke adjustments, turn the nipple past the desired point by a 1/4 turn and then turn back to desired point, taking the twist out of the spoke. This way youll do much less spoke relieving and retruing . When you have reached the desired level of trueness, stress relieve and true over and over until wheel remains true after stress relieving. If you dont stress relieve, as soon as you ride the bike youll hear those pops and pings and the wheel will be out if true again.

What he doesn't stress enough in this video is that when tightening the spokes one turns the nipple counter clockwise. Watch .3:50 (we see the nipple head turn clockwise but he is actually turning the nipple counter clockwise because he's on the other side of the rim)

NimlotArt he says very clearly that you turn it clockwise from the perspective of the camera, which would be counter clockwise from his perspective.
