i have a 12%26quot; pitbike wheel with a wobble and i have been told you can take the wobble away by adjusting spokes in a certain way does anyone know if this is true and if so what will be the right way to do it as loosen one tighten another but in what pattern
Buckled wobbly wheel?
-Get a tire lettering pencil at an auto parts store (it%26#039;s a waxy crayon).
-Spin your wheel.
-Slowly move the crayon toward the rim.
-Where the bend of the rim moves out, the crayon will leave a mark (a line).
-Loosen all the spokes on that side of the rim (they go to that side of the hub) %26quot;only where the crayon mark is%26quot;, a 1/4 turn.
-Then tighten the spokes on the other side of the rim where the crayon mark is, a 1/4 turn.
-Wipe off the crayon mark and keep repeating the process untill the wheel is straight.
-If the bend moves the other way, use the same procedure on the other side.
-When you get the wheel straight, snug any of the looser spokes.
-For an up and down hop, the wheel has to be removed from the bike and the tire from the rim. It%26#039;s a lot more involved...so that%26#039;s for another lesson.
Reply:yes by an expert
Reply:If it%26#039;s not too bad it can be done, but it needs an expert. Ask at your local motorcycle dealers, or possibly a pushbike shop, if they know of anyone.
Reply:try tightening opposite spokes, should work.And yes that will take out the wobble.
Reply:Truing, wheels is an art and best left to those with experience.
Reply:its a bit hit and miss if you try yourself take it to a dealer who will have a balancer to get it right
