This video is almost 8 years old & has the most clear explanation on how to true a rim. Every other video confused me, this one was straight to the point & i actually learned something. Thanks bro !

Very well done. Simple/clear explanation. I got my two rims straightened out in just 5 mins, with an $8 tool.

I was able to just straighten mine with a regular old adjustable wrench!! I know it's not recommended cuz it might strip the spokes but it worked in a pinch..

this was the clearest and most unpretentious video.

Thanks for this. I tried this once in junior high - I was winging it and the result was a disaster. After that I was too intimidated to try again until I watched this. Today I got the rims on my bike and my wife's bike straight as an arrow and the brakes adjusted perfectly. Thanks again.

Nicely explained in under 4 minutes, thanks. Some other video took 12 minutes to ramble and confuse the explanation.

It might take rebuilding a wheel. But good luck have fun. I can tell you you can fix some wheels which are really out of whack, but it takes a bit of time and knowledge.

My especiality was never rebuilding a wheel. My specliality was rebuilding the hub. Be it the rear or the front.

I started doing my own a few years ago, way more cool than paying a small fortune at a shop ,all these helpful vids on you tube mean you can all do it yourself, just be brave and go for it ,air forks are easier than you think /bottom brackets/ all will save you money 💰 doing it yourself and you get satisfaction you've fixed yourself own bike 🚲 🤟🇬🇧💯

Here’s someone who can explain the problem and the fix in a very short period of time. Thanks!

Your video should be No.1 on youtube search for bike wheel truing. Thank you sir

I really appreciate this simple explanation. I was ready to take a $50 bike in for $100 tune up. Now I will fix it myself!

Shouldn't even cost you that much to have this performed in a bike shop unless it has to have other things done to it.

​@luigiprovencher8888 bike shops often work with minimum prices. If I want anything done at a local place they will bill parts + minimum an hour labour, even if it's 5 minutes. 1 hour and 10 minutes is billed 2 hours etc. And theyre always full of bikes waiting to be repaired. So maybe it's the same for this guy, but I agree, fixing should be much cheaper than replacing new to not promote waste economies

Mate, you’ve saved me! I was struggling for like 20 minutes then tried this out and worked immediately!

Using this technique I was amazed how well I was able to true this wobbly bicycle rim. Just happened to have the tire off and the inner rubber liner as well. The back side of the tightening screws for the spokes on this wheel were slotted for a regular screw driver. Using the screwdriver instead of a wrench or pair of pliers made the task even easier. This wheel is spinning like a roulette wheel now. Thank You for your informative video.

Time is money. Time is valuable! This video is less than 4minutes and was clearer than the all the other 10+ minutes! Great video sir!

This is a very well done instructional video! It explains and effectively demonstrates the essentials very quickly and clearly.

That is fantastic, Out of all my years of having bicycles I never knew this was possible.I always assumed if my bicycle rim would wobble it was caused from being bent or if I has loose spokes I would just tighten the snot out of them... Good Stuff & thanks for sharing!

youll make your wheel far less true by just tighteniong them... this example is nothing like a normal tire requires to properly true.

Thanks, you saved me a lot of money. I bought a tool for 3 dollars here in Norway 🇳🇴

This video changed my life. Easy and to the point without the guff that comes with a lot of videos.

Great, simple lesson on how to get your wheel to spin without a wobble. I was taking my wheels into the bike shop tomorrow, but I have no wobble in the wheels now. Thanks much!!

Thank-you! Great job explaining which spokes to tighten and loosen. Fixed my wobbly tire at home!

That explains a lot. Had been looking at my bike for a while just to notice two spokes were broken.

Excellent! Short and to the point.

Thanks man, that’s all I gotta do? Thought I would have to transport to bike shop and back and be at the mercy of the chip reader! That is a smooth/ clean video explanation that will live in infamy now.

Lifesaver. Honest video with clear instructions. Thank you!

This is really helpful ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and saving me money at the bike shop ! My wheels are now pretty darn true !!

Amazing instructions straight to the point clear thoroughly done. My roadbike wheel is always crooked thanks.

This is the best way to explain to straighten the wheel!

I watched maybe 10 videos in relation to that and was unable to understand but yours is the perfect one❤

simple explanation makes this better than most other videos

Thank you for that video. Im using bime to get to work, my spoke have broken so I had to weld a bit to it so its not too short anymore but watching this sparked the whole process of fixing it as well was bent really bad. Thanks again mate I hope you are doing great

2 mins and I'm on cloud 9! That was straight to the point and easy to digest!! 🎉🎉❤

dude, this video was amazing, probably one of the best videos I’ve ever watched, keep it up.

Quick & informative. Perfect. Thank you.

Actually useful guide, well done dude 👍

Very straight forward, great content.

This is better explained than other videos seen here on youtube. Also shorter and to the point.

Thank you Sir. You have thought me something new for the day and save me $20

Excellent presentation, thank you 😊

Ended up being a bit more of an art but my wheel seems to be true(ish) now. Thanks.

Thank you for the introduction, appreciated!

Very good and clear instructions.

Very clear and straightforward. Thank you

Thank you for this video!

Important to deflate/remove the tyre and squeeze the spokes together after tuning to remove residual tension.

V helpful. Thanks

Thank you!

Dude thank you

That's awesome. I thought that my wheel was bent but maybe I just need to have this done. They want $25 from my local (not so local as it's in a few towns or cities over) bike shop to straighten it or true it up.

If i knew this at my childhood... Now i can be a gear dad

Thanks bud 👊😎

You're God sent

U r a good guy

Amazing

Thank you !!!

Quick and easy.

thanks boss ❤

In general, how tight should all the spokes be? Just like lightly hand tight? Or tighter than that?

Gunna see if it works but great vid 🎉very simple

Thank you.

Do you need to loosen opposite side spokes as you tighten so you don’t create a flat spot in the wheel?

Nice one Subscribed Please keep it comin

Good tuition.

Thanks!
