Watched the entire video and got my answer for below.

Well done. I've attempted truing a wheel before but failed miserably, probably because I lost patience halfway through.

It is a very slow process. It takes hours if not days for a beginner to get this right.

Olá amigo como vai ? Onde posso conseguir esta ferramenta? E como ela se chama ? Excelente vídeo amigo … muito obrigado

Glad you liked the video. The tool can be purchased here: www.skylartools.com/truspoke-2/. The torque tool was purchased here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JW55LN3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1. I have both the 3nm and 4nm versions.

By setting all spokes to averages should bring wheel into horizontal and vertical tolerance?

For a novice, would you recommend the TruSpoke tool as a good starting point? Or do you think that a very accurate torque wrench could get you similar or better results? I have an Aprilia Tuareg with X-Spoke wheels, and I made some mistakes and got the front wheel very out of true. So now I have loosened all spoked and the rim does appear to be fine but I am trying to decide how to proceed if I should buy the TruSpoke tool, or get a more accurate torque wrench as all I have is a CDI 2-8Nm torque wrench. Cheers from Portland, OR. Thanks!

A torque wrench and the TruSpoke tool are completely different tools. The TruSpoke takes a measurement with the spoke and spoke nipple. This gets the hub centered within the rim. The torque wrench is used for ensuring everything is tightened correctly. For a novice, I think the TruSpoke is a great tool. I couldn't have got this far without it.

From my experience, it can be a headache on cross spoked rims. I haven't worked on a regular spoked wheel. But the cross spoked seem much more complicated.

Thank you. I probably have 40 hours of experimental work on this rim. I'm far from being a master. But each time I work on it, I learn something new.

Cool video...thank you...I have a 2022 R1250GS...love spoked wheels and have some experience with them...the spoke length on these wheels is about 187mm...front and rear...pulling and pushing spokes...all the same length...since BMW does not provide service manual, I am not able to locate what the torque setting is...I was told by a BMW certified mechanic that it should be 2.5 N/m...but another BMW mechanic from another shop gave me a higher value...do you know what the max torque value is for spokes on these wheels?

Per the service manual , the first tightening torque is 0.9Nm, The 2nd tightening torque is 4Nm. The grub screw is tightened to 1.9Nm. These numbers are from the 2019 manual but I don't think they would have changed.

Mr. Random, I was a completely fool when I wrote those words. I never meant to be rude. I hope that you accept my apologies. You were right and I was wrong. The majority of the accomplishments that We conquer in life is done empirically. We get the right after so many tries and mistakes until We get to the point. Until We get them right.

Did you tighten the spokes to BMW specifications in inch pounds? Great video!

@chiefswanderlust2974

BMW Specs are in NM. But yes, at about the 33 minute mark, I'm using a "Prestacycle Mini TorqKeys Preset Torque Tool". It's preset to 3nm, so I'm able to ensure that everything is very close to the max BMW spec of 4nm. I also have the 4nm version. When you get to this point of truing a wheel, a tiny adjustment can have a big impact. So using the torque tool along with 1/8 or 1/4 turn increments is the only way to go.

I wish there were classes as well. Even some good documentation would be nice. The professionals who do this for a living guard the secrets to performing this magic.

The methods you are using won’t work as the spoke in some area will have stretched.

@chiefswanderlust2974

I was able to get the lateral and vertical runout to 0.9mm, which is within BMW specs. So the method does work. However, it is an interesting thought; I wonder how much the spokes have stretched. Perhaps in a future video we can test it.

Very helpful video. Thanks. Would you share how to get the tool to measure the length of the spoke or grub screw? The one that you insert into the nipple

@chiefswanderlust2974

9 ай бұрын

The grub screws are removed prior this process, so they are not part of the measurement. When the grub screw is out, the tool will measure from the end of the spoke to the working tip of the T40 bit. The TruSpoke tool comes with a T40 bit that has a hole in the middle. This allows a small needle to pass from the tool through the bit and onto the end of the spoke nipple. Does that help? If not, I can upload a better video of exactly what the TruSpoke tool does.

You are almost correct. It's true I don't know what I'm doing. This was an experiment. As stated in the comments, I have never worked on a rim before and this isn't an instructional video. Per the BMW Service Manual (Section 36 31 511) for a 2019 R1250GS, max lateral and vertical runout is 1.7mm. This rim was 3.7mm when I started, and 0.9mm when finished. This video was really about showing what can be completed for a beginner. The very basic steps. And that with patience, you can get there.
