    hey man, just wanted to add something,
    instead of using your hands to mark it i find it easier to mark it with scotch tape on the spoke where it starts and ends
    great tutorial tho
    thanks fam

    Cool video. Everyone should know how to maintain their bikes. Getting a wheel true on a BMX is very simple. I ride a Mountain bike/racer hybrid and I constantly have to check my spokes. When I'm lacing a wheel I use the sound of the spoke being tapped to make sure I have equal pressure. Being a musician is useful for some things.

    You said at 3:25, start loosening but you were turning anti-clockwise which is tightening. It's not lefty loosy, righty tighty. It's opposite.

    So all you basically gotta do is loosen your spokes where its bent and then simply tighten them??

    how often you usually have to true your rim? One day of riding, week of riding or how long? And thanks for the great vid man!

      Zjesse_98 you probably already googled it since this is an old comment but I usually check every two weeks of hard riding and one month if just casual riding.

    Also have you ever experienced a grinding/popping sound coming from your cranks? Because I have that problem right now and if you could tell me how to get rid of that sound I would love you forever (no homo)

    • @matthewrobinson9604
      @matthewrobinson9604 6 років тому +1

      Check that your chan is clean as well as you B.B. bearings and sprocket. Also that there is a thin coat of grease on you spindles. (I hade the same problem) then tighten everything back up again.

  • @TheMd1975
    @TheMd1975 7 років тому +1

    + Needle Media you want to do them 1/4 turns not 1/2. I know this is an older video, but 1/4 turns is safer and alot easier to adjust to really get the wheel straight. 1/2 turns to most people get them somehow to totally screw up the wheel and end up needing a shop. No idea why because it's simple to do...but I have seen it way too much

  • @DanAce1
    @DanAce1 7 років тому +1

    after you loosen the touching side then tighten the other side, do you tighten the side you loosened again?

    I'm wondering that whenever I do a bunnyhop and my back wheel is to the side of me if that is whats making it wobble. Idk if it's because I didn't put it together correctly or just because I'm way rough on it

    @tiaseanetherton8626 8 років тому

    if i wanted to correct a wheel hop, could i just tighten the spokes on each side at the high spot evenly?

    • @matthewabt2545
      @matthewabt2545 8 років тому

      You could try but wheel hops are extremely difficult to correct

    • @maxrc1912
      @maxrc1912 7 років тому +2

      the same way you true side to side, but you want to tighten spokes where the hop is 1/4 turn then loosen opposite side
