matt.price Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 hmmmm. if you belive inmiracles READ THIS find a bad area where it is rubing , for example rubbing badly to the left. loosen the left spoke ( nearest to the point) by a quater turn. and tigten the right spoke on each side of the left spoke by half a turn. REMEMBER: this is my bodge way of doing this ( and it kinda works for me ) . you gotta use this method with common sense. and a bit of maths. the less bad the rubing the less you need to tighten or loosing the spokes. also:do notover tighten the spokes as they will smooth down.. i hope this helps p.s try looking at a few of these videos to see what im on about ... youtube list matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Truing a wheel - Tightening a spoke pulls the rim to that side. If your spoke is a driveside spoke, and you tighten it, it will pull the rim that way. And the opposite happens if you loosen the spoke. So, if your rim is buckled to the driveside, find the buckle, find the spoke that goes to the non-drive side, and tighten it until the buckle goes away. There's more to it than that, but that's the gist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
