javzi monty Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Maybe you are just a rough rider.Or it could just be somthing to do with the spokes or hub etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or it could just be somthing to do with the spokes or hub etc.JEEZ MAN THANKS FOR THE AWESOME HELP.We already KNOW it's something to do with that, as that's what a rear wheel comprises of.Where did you get it trued? If it was you LBS you shouldn't be having troubles like that, to be honest.If it was you who did it, or a friend, have a feel of the spokes. The wheel comes out of true much easier when it's loose.Is it deffinately the rim buckling, or could it be one side of the axle slipping in the dropouts? (ie. is the whole wheel wonkey, or is it deffinately a buckle each time?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 A Tryall rim, well the old ones should keep their shape fairly well by themselves, the front ones have trouble though i know. I do disagree with aener about the LBS sorting the wheel out. They might have just quickly trued it up but not fully tensioned all the spokes as they might know he'll be back for another wheel true. Or they suck and didn't tension the wheel to ovoid future buckles.It could also be your tyre isn't sat on the rim too well?But yeah like said, could just be the hub moving in the dropouts.

If they feel quite loose - you need it tensioning.Unfortunately, I haven't any idea where you could take it to do that, as I just do mine myself.

TJ. Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i would say try some new spokes and if that doesnt sort out the problem then its time for a new hub mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdonboy Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 If you know your hub and rim is in good working condition and you dont know what spokes they are, the problem will proberly be the spokes/nipples.nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am going to go back to the original comment, you may just be a harsh rider. Do you do a lot of spinny moves. I know when I spin a lot I need to true my wheel more often. Also do you use 20" or 26"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is there enoughtension in the spokes ? You may need to get your wheel tenisoned as this keeps the wheel strong and true. Otherwise it sounds like you are a basher Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do a lot of spinny moves. I know when I spin a lot I need to true my wheel more often. Also do you use 20" or 26"?I ride both but this is my 26" wheelI surpose i do do quite a lot of spinny moves but mostly on my 20", but i did buy the wheel second hand ?To be honist i think its the spokes ?

Jack Chinnery Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Its blates you Nipples or true. Wtf has the hub to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresswell_d Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Just be carefull when tighting the spoke, you want a good spoke key (Some thing like a parktool)If you use some pliers it may damage your nipples (No funny jokes please lol)Daz.

JackDolan Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) try and titen all your spokes up.if not.id try some new spokes because if you dont know what are on your wheel now they might just be cheapoes.

trials13boy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 hi have you ever seen a trials bike rear wheel apart from when new. there bound to have a buckle if you run it at stupid psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Its blates you Nipples or true. Wtf has the hub to do with it EXACTLY!! It's just a shit build. True the wheel as much as you can, then when that's done... Go around the wheel tightening every nipple equally.. Should sort your problem, that's what I do.
