Answer 1

YUP Ya better, Lacing a wheel is not as easy as it looks. Check axle and bearing play. Be Carefull I would recommend a pro

Answer 2

Only if you ride it in a parade with a clown suit on!

Cause you'll be going up and down side to side.

Proper tools to do it yourself

Truing stand $150 to $300
Magnetic base $50
Dial indicator $100
Spoke wrench $5
Whole lot of luck.

Unless you are going to do a whole lot of that it's cheaper to have a professional do it.

Answer 3

i might take it to an expert. i've got tried to regulate spokes on a normal bicycle wheel and it quite isn't any longer ordinary, on a bike there is too plenty at stake in case you don't get it relatively a hundred% ideal.

Answer 4

Like Firecraker said - read my answer he talked about if you want to learn how to lace a wheel.
Then search for "Buckled wobbly wheel?" and I'll explain how to true it.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Look up the question "yes I mean lace a wheel"
Read guardrail jim's answer.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
