Oakys Garage Motorcycle Wheel Trueing truing spoke adjustment tighten

Followup video to my wheel lacing respoke video

[@johngranata5515]

He got right to the explanation , no bullsh-- ting around , clear and concise .. I followed his lead and successfully laced two rims on a yamaha roadstar that had more spokes than this rim ( 56 ) and was successful .. PS , I wouldnt want to do this for a living .. THanks Mr. Oaky

[@gary150856]

Thanks for these vids. Heard so much and read about how hard this job is I was getting nervous of starting. This makes it easy.

[@brucekendall52]

You are a "True" gentleman to share your knowledge like this,thank you

[@swannyisnumberone]

Many thanks. After watching your first video on lacing; I was pretty sure I would need to look to anyone else for truing. Two great videos that are simple enough for me - a complete novice, to follow. I am rebuilding a CB360 over here in England and am going to give it a go on a spare back wheel - soon to be new best back wheel.

Thanks, deffinately the best video on how to spoke wheels

[@rotory2002]

Thank you for sharing this. I am about to do both wheels on a 1974 BMW R90/6 with all new stainless spokes. Keep up the great work :)

[@oaky132x]

[@schirmeyerb]

Thank you mister .......you are really a good .......if only each video were like that..! A french man ..66 years old ....million of milles with a 50 cc kreidler floret....

[@BonoMeArse]

great helpful video there...used it to do my kz650 wheels 2 years ago and about to do another set of wheels..cheers..

[@pwnisher420]

ty for vid got my rims powercoated and didnt know what i was getting into but your video game me confidence to do it myself

[@Formula400Pontiac]

Good stuff! I was looking for a good tutorial on this and i found it finally. This guy knows his shit i can tell. Thanx for sharing. I'm on a mission... A wheel is waiting for me in the workshop

[@tenover]

Thanks you for both videos(lacing and truing). I'm working on my first little vintage 1982 Honda XR and am re-lacing as we speak. It's next to impossible to find a full set of spokes for these back wheels! Bought a whole set from EBay from a Chinese seller and the outside spokes didn't have enough material at the 90 degree bend, so wouldn't reach around the hub to the rim. Ended up having to piecemeal individual NOS spokes from random people on EBay....Ugh. Your videos are very clear and easy to understand(and MUCH appreciated).

[@thekidwith4names747]

tapping them is something I never considered.Thanks.

[@oldskoolbiggie]

Congrats for this vid and the lacing one too! I'm at the point of doing this myself but was searching the net for the "how to" vid!

[@dannyonrust834]

Thanks, finally I found a very good tutorial.

[@horustwohawks]

[@9mmtotheMellon]

Nice vid my man, looking forward to lacing my first, 15inch to 18 inch rim.

[@hairychinfinn]

Oakey, cheers for the tips. I've always wanted to know how they do that.

[@mattsta1964]

[@grkstd1967]

great tips and video

[@schummiehugo]

tanks oky.... a lessen for mi so now i try it at home. gr

[@oaky132x]

always compare length and bends on spokes, most of the time the inners are different than the outers, it's very easy once you do a few...good luck ...Oaky

[@pedroaguerrevere9118]

Thak you. Nice video

[@slashdot33]

[@oaky132x]

My berklee training came into effect...

[@sultanheart]

Nice music lesson hehe!!

[@schummiehugo]

tanks tanks tanks !!!!

[@msharlick]

how do you know if the hub is in the centre of the rim

[@rossie273]

you make it look soooo easy . What's the bet when I try it the thing looks like a circular pogo stick . Wish me luck . Thanks again

[@brentroche]

So if you have the wheel in front of you and it kinks to the left, tighten the spokes that attach to the right side of the hub, this will pull the rim across to the right. you should also loosen the spokes on the left hand side of the hub. respin and repeat until straight...

[@garyxiong6771]

Tanks man

[@nustar1]

Great video! btw CA 95 will do better than 45 if running right. At least 60.

[@fordescort1800]

hey great vids, when i buy a wheel rim they have the holes pre drilled for the spokes but the spokes go at an angle as do the holes are you with me? so seen as the bike i have is not well known i cant get rims sprecicaly for my bike so ow wuld i go about getting the correct rim?

[@Kilo_Alpha]

What tension are you using for 16" wheels please

[@thekidwith4names747]

zip ties work good in place of a straw.You can buy a wheel balancer/truing stand like that form harbor freight for about $50.00.

[@sloppyengineering]

got one the other day, this is what it'll be used for

[@murgrabia83]

Hi!. Good job, but one thing bothers me, what about line-positioning of rim due to hub. maybe when hub is relatively big diameter it set in right place by it self, but if U respoke front wheel 21' where spokes are longer, it may require some attention. Cheers:)

[@Cratergrease]

Excellent video, but... What if there's a wobble in the rim? How does one true that up? I bought a dt 175 with a good wobble in the front rim... Spin the wheel off the ground and u can see it! Can this be fixed or am I looking at a new assembly? Thanks, and keep up the good work!!!

[@oldcarman68]

You have to remember to go slow and watch what you are doing because what you do on one side really affects the other side. I should video the 19" front Harley wheel that I am going to respoke and add a new rim in place of an old rusty one. I already have the rim and spokes that I took off another later model hub which had a larger diameter axle.

[@balncobra]

I wonder if they make an open ended adjustable torque wrench with a very low inch/lb rating. That would ensure 100% accuracy with each spoke.

[@602nelsonjacob]

Question for you: I just did my rear on my yz426. The rim is ok very little wobble, The thing is the nipples have thread showing only on the inside spokes. the outsides you can't see any thread. Is this ok or am I doing something wrong? I know the spokes are the same size all the way around. stock hub stock rim, any help is appreciated

[@rex4x4]

Good job man :-) How long to lace and true if u diddnt have to worry about the camera ??

[@seventiesmetal8673]

Great video! Can I reference this video on my channel?

[@sabrom]

Does the tire have to be off to tighten the spokes?

[@KapteinOpel]

1. Angle grinder. 2. Patience ;)

[@tubesteak3991]

What about hub offset?

[@msharlick]

were is western mass

[@oaky132x]

you too

[@hondalover9690]

Can i fix that?

[@oaky132x]

@msharlick Western Mass

[@oaky132x]

@msharlick Western Massachusetts, in New England, in USA, on earth

[@hondalover9690]

i got an old vintage wheel just like that. I think it needs truing up and down. By that i mean its out of shape up and down

[@msharlick]

were are you from oaky

[@nutmegger1957]

If a spoked wheel isn't "true".........what is the characteristic "dead giveaway" that will tell me so? Will the bike give me any sensation in my riding, like a wobble?

[@illhaveanother4365]

The bike will explode

[@H20RIDER]

Almost a really good video. Because the wheel he was going to true was "almost perfect", there wasn't information on how to true a wheel.

[@bobw7066]

Good video, I always wonder why the gutless thumbers downers never say what they don't like.

[@oaky132x]

no
