Wheel Trueing

[gbbwolf]

Wow cannot beleive I was so scared of wheel building and trueing.
Took me 45 minutes for first wheel and 1hr 15 min for second wheel.
The second one was wobbling so bad I thought I was going to have to rebuild the hub.
Highly recomend you watch the wheel truing video at bicycletutor.com
Made it easy for me I guess.

Watched that video Like 30 times over last month.

WooHoo straight and true rims wish I had a video camera to show you what I started with and how they finished.

The rim turns perfect but I can see the Wobble in the Hub.

But who is going to notice that little hub when the wheel turns so perfect.

IMHO wheel truing was a breeze.

I am with you on that one! I can sit on the couch and build a set of wheels in an hour now - right from scratch. First wheel I ever did was on OverKill. Now I sometimes take them apart just to paint the rims.

Don't think I want to take apart my wheels to paint my rims.
But I am not afraid anymore of truing rims.

But then my rims are brand new maybe in a few years when the paint comes off LOL.

All I can say about truing rims is watch that video and go do it.

I guess the final challenge will be cableing my wolf and getting deraillurs and brakes done.
Time to watch a video on derailler setup and adjustment.
And then brake adjustment, but don't think the disc's brakes will give me any trouble's.

Routing cables might LOL.
