Dude! Thank you! Just got into biking and need to true up some wheels to keep me safe. Your zip tie idea is exactly what I needed. Side note, the two side zipties can double up as gauges for hop. Just line them up with the inside diameter of the rim and watch for movement. Thanks again.

Bro BRO.... you da FFFing man brother! your instructions are perfect, everything you say is bang on! you have opened my eyes in a much larger world! Thanking you! all the way from down under!

Going to try this when I get home from work :D best explanation I've checked out so far

I haven't finished watching it, and it's already AWESOME! This helps soooo much! Thanks Alfredo. You the man!

Alfredo Mancuso one question, i almost fixed the hop in my wheel.. but the spokes at the point of the hop are really tight now and the opposite site is much loser.. all tho the hop is not that bad as it was. But what can i do to get rid of the God damn hop?😜

Nice video man. My back tyre is worn more in certain spots then others. Does that mean I have a hot spots then? Thanks

Thanks for the thorough tutorial! I'm gonna take the tire off of the wheel to get a better look for correcting the hop.

one day ill try but for now my lbs will be payed for this lol. love your vids btw alf ive been binge watching them for days

dope vid how do you take a free wheel off and do you guys shop ship internationally because most bike shops here don't sell the newer free wheelss any links to buy those parts

I have been building motorized bicycles for a couple of months.4 so far. all the spokes on one side support the gear that the motor powers the bike with a chain. how would you suggest I true the wheel? tighter on the side supporting sprocket or looser?

I made the 1000 like. Great video

definetly useful good teaching

Aye yo! Early gang. I dig tech Thursday man. Again you break things down so well. Thank you! Now I've got a quick question, as far as rim hop goes, is there a point when you cannot correct the hop and scrap the hoop? I have two old hoops with bad hop in them but never was tech enough to solve my issues.

What truing stand is that one ?
