Really nice video! Keep them coming.
Every time I change the oil and air filter, these are on the check up schedule... 🤙
Thanks Don!
I have a front rim that is severely bent. No damage to the rim but several spokes are bent due to a crash. If I buy new spokes do you think that will straighten out the rim? Or can a rim be "so far gone" not even a re-lace with new spokes will help. Thanks for any wisdom you can provide.
Just wondering if you can use WD to do the same thing as you are doing l don't ride as much as I one's did though...

If you’re not aware, especially if you’re new to dirt bikes, the nipple is the “nut” and the spokes are threaded, so it’s clockwise as you look from the rim towards the hub.
Leave the oxidation thst way it wont come loose again 😂
