ChrisTrials2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Can I push a rim over to one side by pushing down on the rim equally, in the direction I want to dish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you want to dish it to the right, you tighten the right side spokes an equal amount on each spoke until the distance is covered. If the right side spokes were already really tight to start you can get the same result by loosening the left, as long as they're tight enough to begin with. do half a turn at a time, doesn't take much.

Carlperkins Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm confused. You want to dish the rim.. Side to side? I though dishing It was up and down (I.e when removing an egg in the wheel) And trueing it was side to side. ( removing a buckle) ???

Luke Rainbird Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 He's not truing a wheel (making it straight/concentric) he's moving the entire rim across to make it central on the hub (dish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dishing is what Luke said, not sure there's a technical term for removing an egg/ flat spot, truing is straightening a buckled wheel. But dishing is getting the rim central to the hub.

FamilyBiker Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) its called radial and axial offset(dishing is centering a rim in the frame/fork if the hub is offset axial) and why the hell do i know that as a german,while you guys dont lol? :wink2: Edited December 26, 2012 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 A wheel can be true up and down, and a wheel can be true side to side. Both are called true. Dishing is where the rim is positioned in the build (centrally or to one side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) okay,thats a good argument then.an english speaking guy that went to the business school i learned at said it this way(my last post). but makes more sense like you say it Edited December 26, 2012 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Sounds bad you will probbably be better getting the wheel in the hands of a wheel builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 There are several different techniques to remove eggs depending if the egg was created by hitting the spokes or the rim and which part was hit. And in some cases to get it straght can mean hammering the rim back. Are we talking mm or a huge flat spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
