Dan6061 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 If it buckles to the left, do up a pair of spokes on the opposite side. You only need like, half a turn each spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I hate truing wheels. I just dont have the time or paitence for it Anyway as above. Think of spokes working in threes. If the rim is too far oer the right, tighten the nearest two in the left side more. If its still not enough, Don't over tighten and loosen the one on the left instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
