Q: I've always wanted to know how the real wheels. But the destruction of a wheel idea to accept from me a few instructions before the test process. Can you give me any tips, let me start? From: David

A: So you have to reinvent the wheel? Do not worry, trim wheel is not difficult for most people would have you believe. If you can tune a stringed instrument, there is a strong probability, you can really a wheel. But this is not a necessary prerequisite skills. The key is to trim the wheel to make small adjustments.

If you do not want to invest in the finishing stand, you can use your brake calipers do you ride a bike on the road work. Simply adjust the brake caliper on the barrel adjuster, so pad close to the basket, in order to better measure your wheel is not far off. If you have a disc brake equipped mountain bike, you can use the seatstay or fork wrapped around a lower zipper tie, for the same purpose. Just cut short and the tail with your gauge. As you work, so the wheels can rotate zipper tie, so you end near the rim of the wheel with your real progress. Now before any wheel trim, make sure your wheel bearings adjusted correctly. If the axle of the wheel swing, and you really try, you will not get anywhere with your wheels true.
