Wheel Truing Stand

<< < (3/4) > >>

Zippy:
You can always do them in the frame using the brake blocks as a guide.

Bettyswallocks:
I just use my bike turned upside down

Theres loads of wheelbuilding guides ont net

Give it a go, it aint rocket science have another wheel at hand to copy lacing it if your not sure, then just take it slowly tightening the spokes

I've done 2 pairs now, both for riding rather than show pony, one pair 36h 3 cross and another pair 4 cross 48h

Did a pair of these the other night...



Any excuse to show off.... lol

They're for another bike but i just wanted to look at em on a bike... sad i know...  :-[

spleen1970:
same as turn the bike upside down & use the brake pads as your guide its not hard to do just take your time & remember a small amount of turn on a spoke nipple makes a big change to the wheel !
give it a go dude whats the worst that can happen you,l  have to pay some one to do it
watch the you tube vids & give it a bash :daumenhoch: 

telelogic:
I trued a wheel recently!

went on youtube and watched a tutorial then gave it a go.

worked out fine!

If I can do it anyone can :daumenhoch:

kevin (A.K.A) kai riviere:
using the brake blocks as a guide is fine for lateral true but how the hell do you guys *BUILD* wheels from scratch & get the oval true :shocked:
not saying it can't be done but it would be quite difficult to get them spot on. or isn't that of importance in show & shine rides?
