HOW TO TRUE YOUR WHEEL! *VERY IN-DEPTH*
Ойын-сауық
Phu Vu, over at _epicbmx (@_epicbmx) was kind enough to give us a very thorough on How To True your bmx wheel! This tutorial covers all of the aspects of the wheel truing process, from the types of lacing processes (radial, 2 cross, 3 cross, or 4 cross), the tension your spokes need, as well as how to correct untrue wheels, wheels with hops in it, and even one's you might have given up on!

Oh this is so far very helpful I am the process of getting my back rim straightened and a few spokes replaced luckily it's only one I already did the other two it was three all the other
I learnt to true wheels when I tore my ACL and couldn't ride for ages, it makes so much more sense when you give it a go! GSPORT have a really good written guide too.

Great video. I actually own a work stand and true stand . I've learned a few pointers from this. Like you said some rims are not coming back. I tightened mine too much. It was true. Then I went around and got more slack out. Dumb. It was at least ten years since I have used the true stand. Ill be better from the tips on here. You are a true craftsman. My craftsmanship will improve from watching this . recommended to any DIY

If I got hops and an untrued wheel, should I get rid of the hop or the untrued state first? (I think it would make it way more complicated and take longer if I do both at the same time right?)

New to BMX and never heard of truing a wheel. Just changed my front tire and it wobbles.
Oh man!!! I do NOT have the patience for that 🤣
Hope phu show how to lace gsport role cage rim cause I think the lacing of that rim is different than regulara lacing because of the spoke hole drilling
When ever I drop off or land hard my spokes always creaks and annoys me does that mean my spokes loose or something

usually that's the case but if they only creak when you land really hard it is fine. . . remember that they do have to be a little loose

Life hack, put grease on the middle of the cross where the spokes meet to lessen the creaking(only a little bit), and after you true a fresh wheel expose it a little bit of elements, dust water etc. then true it again to make the wheel dialed.

You can also zip tie that cross section to add a tiny bit of extra tension that is also flexible 🤓
do you tighten clockwise or counter clockwise?

is a tension meter required?
I use a test indicator and mag base and get the wheel running true within .003-.005”
some real time truing. thats real teaching versus many youtubers just want to teach by lecturing
