Straighten a bike wheel with the simple "Gt" method (truing)

Quick and basic procedure for truing (straightening) a bicycle wheel at home. Does not require a stand. Snug up your spokes first, and then look for the worst bump. Start there, adjusting only three spokes at a time. Then switch sides and repeat the procedure, always checking for loose spokes. Eventually your wheel problems will become smaller and smaller! Yes, you can still use a zip-tie if you like (or a dial indicator, for that matter). And yes, you can remove the tube and tire first if you want 'truer' results. Remember: the center of the three spokes gets ½ turn, but the two on each side of it get ¼ turn. Here's a visual: [ ¼, ½, ¼ ]. —or— If you want to try adjusting five spokes at a time (for bigger bumps), then try ⅛ of a turn on the outer two spokes, like this: [ ⅛, ¼, ½, ¼, ⅛ ]. Repeat as needed, and then snug all spokes. Cheat-Sheet: ► The spoke that's closest to the center of the pencil line is the one that requires the most adjustment. ► If that spoke is on the same side of the wheel as you and your pencil mark, then that spoke should be loosened, and the two spokes next to it should then be tightened. ► If the spoke is on the other side, then the two spokes closest to it should be loosened, and then it should be tightened. Is Tighty Righty? Confused over why spoke tightening seems 'backwards' in the first place? Here's a simple analogy that I wish I would've mentioned in the video: watch a fidget-spinner as it spins clockwise. Now look at it from underneath. Notice how it changes direction without changing direction? Sometimes it is WE who have the inverse perspective. Adjust a spoke from inside the rim, and it'll be just like any other nut & bolt. A spoke-wrench adjusts from outside/underneath. Precision: None of this is mathematically perfect, so the built-in error correction here is the post-procedure spoke tightening. Remember, there is no perfect in this world; there is only the asymptotic approach towards it. That pursuit of an ever-refined procedure is what gives us improvement. You can also buy a truing stand. Do that before you follow this procedure ad absurdum, since the net result is an ever-tighter set of spokes, which will eventually cause wheel failure. And I again yield to defeat; admittedly, internet, you are far smarter than I am. But I, being poor, have only my dreams. And unlike superfluous bike repair equipment, you don't have to store those somewhere in your garage. ~~~~ Chapters: 0:00 Intro (skippable) 1:04 Ropes, Chains, & Spokes 1:41 Prep 2:14 Perspective: L/R 3:21 Balance 3:46 Pencil Touch 4:00 Cheat Sheet 4:11 Pencil Line 4:44 Gt Method 7:08 Refinement 7:57 Different Strokes for Different Spokes 8:48 Closing ~~~~ Wooden bike repair stands: ►   • Bike repair stands from wood (front a...   ~~~~ Music: "Too Cool" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
