onzajorge Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hey there, I have not been riding for a few months now and I am missing it loads. Want to start again but my back wheel won't let me. It buckled a while back. Simple job I straightened and re tightened it all (spokes and hub) soon as I drop off anything over about 2 feet it buckles again. I know people will say technique of landing but never had the problem before on other bikes wheels or this wheel. Is it time to admit defeat and buy a new back wheel? If so what would you recommend? To fit a GU typhoon? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 if you true your wheel and it buckles again straight off the rim has to be damaged,so yes,get at least a new rim and spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 When you true the wheel up try and get all the spokes to an even tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Are you stressing the wheel after tighening it. but it does sound like the rims had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
