important details: if a spoke is too lose it will get looser over time and destroy itself by repeatingly shock stretching with every rotation. If a spoke is too tight it will snap prematurely as well or damage the rim. To get a good lifetime out of a spoke it has to be in that middle zone where its just tight enough to stay taught and not too tight. This ideal tension window is easy to achieve by measuring spokes with spoke tension tool, cheap one from ebay can be had for 25 euros online. If you have used this tool for some time, only then its possible to accurately feel the spoke tension just by your hands.
I will be honest, at first I thought this was going to be lame and not helpful at all. But I kept viewing as this would not be fair to judge without finish the vid. Then, you hit the mark! Exactly what I was looking for is what you teach in this vid. Excellent example amd simple. Thanl yiu so much for taking the time and making this tutorial video. Very appreciated!
If anyone is confused at 3:20 by "spark" he means spoke. By tightening a spoke, you make a spoke shorter, by loosening a spoke, you make a spoke longer.
I just ran into a metal pole today and went over the handle bars. This occurred on asphalt. I am 58 and weight 215, so it made a nice thud when I landed. Besides a bruised hip and ego, I bent my front wheel. It looks nowhere near as bad as the wheel in this video so I will give it a shot. The moral of the story is try to avoid running into metal poles. I will try to learn from experience.
Spoke nipples are usually held into the rim by their slotted heads. It help when truing to visualize it as if you were using a flathead screwdriver on the spoke nipple heads to screw them in and then just keep the spoke nipple turning that same way with the truing key. This shortens a spoke and pulls the rim towards the side of the hub from which it originates. Truing can only do so much on a wheel that is truly bent. It is easily possible to reach the limit of spoke tension before the wheel gets anywhere near straight.
My bike has the spoke adjustment in the hub instead of the rim. Is ther e a special tool to adjust these? The normal tool wil not fit and i trally want to true my wheel.
I reckon its not the best way or the most professional way to do it but. To do it urself at home without having all proper tools. Helped me a lot thank
I got a vintage cycling bike maybe from the 80’s. Today a spoke just snapped out of nowhere, and the wheel got the complete opposite of straight…. Just because of one spoke :(
the image that you put the cover appears on yaw axis, the work that you performed is on the pitch axis. the issue is horizontal not vertical. Do you have another video ?
yung rim po ng bike ko nabi-ak dahil sa prino unti unti nhiwa. after ko magpa volcanise nasubrahan po ng hangin kya natulak din palabas ng gulong. pede pa bo un maremedyuhan/ thank u po
This is not the only problem you can face what if the rim is not a perfect circle and more like an egg shape . Also if you keep just tightening the screws you might break the spokes So when should you loose them? nd thx for the vd
@@darkraft100 but for a scenario where you don't have any money for new wheels or you just need to get back riding, its absolutely fine. I my self would buy a new rim after this bad of a rim bend.
You should have used the wheels own tension to straiten that wheel by pumping the tyre up and side banging the rim because the spokes are allready set just the alloy outer rim was bent you took to it with your wrench worrying only about the side to side axis not the up and down movement so you egged your rim
I like the video, I just wish they were slower in removing the subtitles....I am old and so not read so quickly without my glasses. But all in all, thank you for this video.
Ok besides fixing the rim to the left or right, you also seem to have an oval shape when rotating the rim. (a gap becomes visible between the ruler and rim 4:17), so how to fix that!?
Your graphic of "The Rim, The Spokes & The Centre (Hub)" is 99% wrong. MOST spokes do not cross in the direction you showed. Spokes are laced to the same side of the rim as the spoke holes in the hub are.
@@ConservativeCalifornian1032 You didn't get scammed my friend. You were being sold a decent wheel that won't end up all out of whack like this wheel was. $195 for the whole bike go ahead and fix the wheel like this. Get used to it because you will be doing it alot. Get used to replacing spokes as well because without a spoke tension gauge you will be breaking spokes as well. You're better off just getting another $195 bike when the wheels get bad. I've been around all kinds of bikes for 50 years now. Quality bikes start around $600. The rest you get what you pay for. Not scammed. Look real close at the quality of the bicycle and you'll see.
Click bait the wheel he went to fix looked nothing like the one in the thumbnail!!! Not even nearly as bent!!!! From this to this? It was never "this" lol
Even a slightly bent wheel can annoy you while you ride. This thumbnail is made to make the problem of the wheel clear to everyone. If your rim is like the photoshoped one, then close youtube and visit your local bike shop ;)
@@bikespecialist "If your rim looks like the one I used for the thumbnail, my video is useless and you should visit a bike shop." classic definition of clickbait.
Never ever truing a wheel that is more than 5 mm wobbly. Why??? Cause the material is stretched and you need to heat up the rim in order to normalize the material. If you force truing a bendy wheel the the tension in the spokes will vary to much. Tension is usually between 100 and 120 kilogram. On a forced bendy wheel the tension can vary between 80 to 160 kg. and then spokes start to snapp off.

aye feel/hearing feedback is better than no feedback! Low pitch vibration = loose, while higher pitch = tight

Thank you you saved me from buying another road bike rim. Appreciate your help
Awesome explanation, didn't even know the spokes had that function! Easy and clear explanation. 👍🏼
Glad you liked it
Had no idea this is how you did that when I was attempting it. Definitely helped a lot man 👨

Only thing I did need to know was Where the wheel turned if I screwed the right or left spoke, so right is to the left and left is to the right?
if you want to make it goes right, you screw the spoke that goes to the right side of hub
I reckon its not the best way or the most professional way to do it but. To do it urself at home without having all proper tools. Helped me a lot thank

What a great fixing. I subscribe........
I dont know much more than when I started watching.
You need to give it a try. You'll understand. His method with the ruler and the tape is a good one
I didnt understand anything bike related 6 months ago.
O how times change
Start from 1:45 and speaker OFF😂 I thank you for your video.
It might be straight but you'll be bouncing out of the saddle, your rim is elliptical
It depends on the damage!
who told u that
@@bikespecialist nice video bro tq
Good video! I wiill try this method !
Thank you very much. excellent video.
Is it still fixable when i has crack?
Hit a hole in the road the other night back tire looks a little worse but I'll try your idea before spending money on a new rim
Thank you , new subscriber
This is not the only problem you can face what if the rim is not a perfect circle and more like an egg shape .
Also if you keep just tightening the screws you might break the spokes
So when should you loose them?
nd thx for the vd
Trying to avoid that
Gonna do it right now
A valve stem remover is a great tool
Bro tnx very helpful

Wraios o filos!

Tnq soooo much ❤️❤️
Very good

Lets say the rim touches the left brake do i turn it right??? Im confused
If the rim is straight but it touches the brake you need to adjust your brake. If your rim isn't straight you need to fix the rim.
Thanks bro
if the wheels are oval what's wrong?
maybe you have to buy a new wheel
Let's do wips again
Lose the music

Hii
Αυτό μπορούμε να το κάνουμε και αν έχουμε το λάστιχο πάνω;
Οχι. Το λαστιχο θα σε εμποδισει απο το να δεις σε ποια σημεια ειναι στραβη η ζαντα

Add an Amazon link to spoke screwdriver.
my wheel looks like the one in the video thumbnail, so this wont work for me
The thumbnail is made to make the problem clear. No one can fix it without damage it. Unfortunately you need to buy a new rim 😥
@Harsh Dynamic Gaming Sorry, but i don't understand your language
@Harsh Dynamic Gaming In some bike shops, i think you should pay 5 - 10 $
this will work with a little buckle not a big one as depicted at the beginning ,,,, ive done this lots of times
👍🏻

I dont see the link to the tool used!!
It’s called a spoke wrench.
Bruh dont u have a hammer or axe in your house
That would really help🤣😂
The thumbnail is clickbait, but the video isnt.
It is just to make the problem clear
The best thing in my opinion to get the air out of the tire is using an Alan key

As a bike mechanic, if you're watching this video just take your bike into the shop. This is terrible
They charged me $150 for a wheel when i paid $195 for the entire bike. Some of us just dont want to get scammed.

no one is perfect
Bhaiya mere pass big scale
Year 2020, people still put a music instead of actually talking in tech videos
yet thousands still learned how to make their rim st8. Quit complaining when the video helped

I just buy new wheel
i am just broke
waste of time taking the tire off all you need is 1 ziptie ... yoursetup is overkill
Ziptie only really works on a rim that's slightly warped! This guys rim is way out!
Ha ha
FUCK IT.. I will buy a new rim 😤....
you're better off just getting a new wheel
Not everyone has a disposable budget. Think about something before you post.
This is the best solution, but imagine having an accident with the wheel in a place you can't just buy a new wheel. This method helps you continue.
can u put the fkn music eve louder
next time😂😂
Oh why such NOISY unnecessary music ?? It really put me OFF fast !! Just spoiled it !!!
Hi
He knows how to straighten a wheel but don’t know how to release the air from tube shm.
it really do be like that sometimes
fake u ,,,,,,,, u changed it to a straight wheel fake
my cover just ruined
What a disappointment. not detailed at all, also not intuitive enough
