Practical bike fixing techniques
January 1, 0001
I originally wrote this as an article for the site, but here is an updated version as part of the ’tips, how-to, advice’ section of the site. Your bike is an important tool. Make sure you look after it.
Wheels
Truing the wheels
- Make sure your wheels are true and there are no loose spokes.
- If they are out of true, use a spoke-key to tighten the spokes doing quarter-turns at a time.
- Tighten the spokes on either side of the spoke nearest to the middle of the dent on the near side and loosen the spokes on the opposite side to pull the rim towards you. Do the opposite to push it away. Remember that on the rear wheel some ‘dish’ is built in to accommodate the rear cassette.
