Have you ever been on a bike ride and felt like the wheels were wobbling, or that they were rubbing against your brakes? If so, then you may want to consider getting those wheels trued.
Wheel truing is the process of adjusting the tension and alignment of the spokes in a bicycle wheel to ensure that it spins evenly and smoothly. Over time, the spokes in a wheel can become loose or unevenly tensioned, causing the wheel to wobble or rub against the brake pads, which can lead to poor performance, discomfort while riding, and potentially dangerous conditions.
To true a wheel, a mechanic uses a spoke wrench to adjust the tension of each spoke until the wheel is straight and true. This involves adjusting both the lateral and radial alignment of the wheel, as well as the tension of each individual spoke. A truing stand is often used to hold the wheel in place during the process, allowing the mechanic to observe any imperfections and make precise adjustments.
Wheel truing is an important maintenance task that can improve the performance and longevity of a bicycle wheel. It should be performed by a trained mechanic so as not to cause damage or compromises
