Check And True A Bike Wheel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- A bike wheel rim can usually be repaired if it's only slightly out of true. If there is a more serious 'dent' in the rim, then it will have to be replaced. People often leave the task of trueing a bike wheel to their local bike shop, but once you know the procedure it's easy to do at home. You will need a spoke key and preferably have a wheel truing stand. If you don't have one of these, you can put together a makeshift truing stand by lashing a pencil to your front forks.
This is a long guide, so you can choose to either watch the entire video above, or follow it in smaller chunks by clicking on the individual steps below.

Steps to Check And True A Bike Wheel:
00:06 Remove A Bike's Front Wheel With Quick Release Skewer
There are two types of fixing for a front wheel. Hexagonal nuts threaded on a solid axle, or a quick release skewer system that runs through the centre of a hollow axle.
03:09 Check The Truth Of A Rim On A Bike Wheel
The rim of a bicycle wheel needs to be a round circle and a flat disc. This gives a comfortable ride and is most important if the rim is used as a braking surface.
03:47 General Information On Adjusting Wheel Spokes
wheel spokes connect hubs to rims and their tension keeps the wheel in shape. The tension can be adjusted with a spoke key.
05:40 True A Bike Wheel Rim To Make It A Flat
If a rim is not a flat disc it will appear to move from side to side as it passes through a rim brake or goes by some other index point. You can true a rim by adjusting the spoke tension.
07:59 Check The Dishing On A Bike's Wheel Rim
The wheel rim of a bike needs to be centred. The centre line of the rim must be exactly at the centre of the hub, halfway between the lock-nuts at either side of the hub.

Some people are proper teachers. This man has one the best vids on the topic because he uses method and technique that all good teachers use: organized content, repetition, cautions and clear, uncluttered language. An excellent bit of tutoring!
Lorne Spry How could I agree more ? Well put.
Actually, I think the repetition in this video is very badly done. It's a literal copy-paste job, which is lazy and unnatural and makes people want to skip. The same 30s section on stressing the spokes between adjustments is spliced into the video three times. There are also a lot of very slow sections where he spends a lot of time showing us very basic things: 20s of taking a tyre off, 30s of putting a wheel on backwards, telling us to loosen all the spokes, doing three while he's talking and then redundantly showing two more after he's run out of things to say, etc. The video contains lots of very useful information and the presentation is very clear but I think about a third to a half of it could be cut without losing any actual content.

Best wheel truing tutorial I have ever seen. I have been repairing my own wheels for over 30 years. I have made every mistake imaginable before perfecting the best method. I wish I had something like this video back when I started. The Internet does have its uses after all. Thank you so much for sharing this you absolute legends.
Finally a video that truly explains how to tru a bicycle wheel correctly. great video I especially how it is broken up into different segments.
Very clear instructions. A well-made, thoughtful lesson. Many thanks.
Tremendous class. It looks like a truly artisan art, reminding the cerebral fight between the fisherman and the fish. Upon this video a lot of questions arise about wheels in general.
Very clear. Not in a hurry. Receiver can grasp why so. Appreciate your skill sharing.
Very instructive, clear explanations, clearly articulated and all points on the subject that need atention have been covered.
This is truly the best video on UA-cam (possibly the net) on the subject, thank you sir!
Aryan Adibmehr Yes, most definitely one of-if not- the best. There's so much BS out here that it's like a breath of fresh air to view something really serious. This bloke is real.
@@musamor75 $=. DC=.*
A good teacher indeed,Thank you.
Excellent. The most comprehensive I have seen and very clear. Have not seen the tip about deflating the tyre anywhere else or the pencil and rubber band as a guage. Much more precise than using a brake pad, though this is OK. Thank you.
Great video . Very clear and easy instructions on how to fix your wheels . I majorly stuffed mine and this helped me get it back .
Having the space to keep(store) & use things like the jig is handy too, trying to do something like this outside adds variables that really slow the job down.
Excellent tutorial, thanks a lot!
i love your channel very impormative its easy to understand your tuitorial .God bless guys.
Very nice and I know how to repair my bicycle rim. lots of thanks.
You're welcome.
themost explanatory vid. i ve seen.thanks
Pure gold. Great video 👍
Thank you🙂😀❤️
Very good video, it played on repeat while I was tuning, perfect repeating instructions
Very helpful thank you so much
I'm glad you explain the obvious
thank you - great vid
Wow. Never even occur in my mind to put the rear wheel BACKWARD. Thought you would at least loose a few fingers to make space for it. 😅😂😅
This is a serious video. No this or that. Straight up front. Nice one. Just get down to it. Wheels are THE problem on a bike. They're part of the fine tuning. You can have all the Campy hubs you want, but if the rims are not true, your goose is cooked. Done.
I find it quite difficult to true bicycle wheels, can anyone please provide any advice or tips. Great video thankyou.
When truing it is better to loosen the spokes that are too tight first, and allow the rim to be true. Tighten later, if needed at all.
If only trueing stands and bike stands weren't so damn expensive..
Great video for trueing wheels but please put the skewer the right way around
I understand to watch the rim as you turn it. " it's much easier if you have a wheel jig " yea I get it mate. WHAT SPOKE DO I ADJUST ?????? IM SPINNIMG THE WHEEL. I SEE ITS OUT.OF TRUE. HOW.DO.YOU KNOW WHAT SPOKE IS THE ONE OFF ??????? THANKS A BUNCH
Very clear , but can you please provide the name brand of that wheel truing device? I would like to get one. thank you!
Muito bom
Buy the stand link
Nice tutorial, but that jig looks a bit flimsy mate! doesn't help if the jig is flexing all over the place and the threads are loose as hell on the truing adjusters!
Yes a fancy jig can be easier to use, but we also wanted to show you can get the job done perfectly well even with cheap equipment.
Balance stand link
Excellent!
what truing stand are you using?
Just a cheap one Brian, but it's all you need to get the job done.
Brian, it's the Tacx Exact Wheel Truing Stand £39 on Amazon. Works a treat, Pete
What make is that stand?
Hello
Sziasztok! Én magyar nyelvű vagyok
@10: voiceover says "tightening", but I am seeing wrench turned anti-clockwise. Isn't that the loosening direction?
ForbinColossus That's how you tighten. You draw the collar "into" the wheel - towards the hub. You have to think three dimensionally.
Does anybody know the make/model of the trueing wheel jig used in the video?
Thanks
I have one like that - its the TACX truing stand - on Amazon for around 50e. Very good and doesnt take much space.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SPOKE IS OUT OF TRUE ¡!!!!!!!??????????
An excellent video however why no gloves?☺
Gloves are not necessary
@@MadeGoodFilms for your hands I mean I always use Nitrile gloves as the bikes pickup a lot of road dirt.
Repetition reinforces repetition reinforces repetition reinforces
Çok güzel ama İngilizce. Allah bilir. Ama İngilizce 😂😂
titre français vidéo explications en anglais ???
Please, YT, stop translating video titles in local, non-English languages, you always fail miserably. A wheel is not a tire!
❤✔️✔️✔️
Man I wish you all would stop giving up these secrets so us real mechanics could stay in business, and at least stop fixing the mistakes made by your viewers. They attempt to try the wheel, screw it up beyond anything they could fix, then suddenly my phone rings asking if I will correct their mistakes...
Lmfao...
If only it balances out, (no pun intended)
