How to Tighten Spokes on a Dirt Bike

[SUPERSANQUAN]

Thanks..can you tell me if theres a way to fix a bent rim.....other than buying another rim

[MXzack360]

@SUPERSANQUAN Yeah. you can try tightening the spokes on one side and loosening the other if its a gradual bend. but if its worse, then you can try hitting it with a hammer until it goes back.

does this work for a bike too?

[MXzack360]

@DGKskater757x yea it does but with a bike you can also fix bent rims by tigtening and loosening spokes

@MXzack360 wow man this really helps i do downhill mountain biking so i have to do a lot of repairs on my bike i just tightened my spokes and almost 1/4 of them were loose thanks

[MXzack360]

@MTBMatt09 yea np. i do some mountian biking 2, and sometimes i bend my rims from landing hard. but you can sraighten them back buy tightening one side and loosening the other to bring it back.

I've seen wheels buckle before, so this is actually very sensible. I know people who never used to bother tightening their spokes but then they saw a wheel break due to loose spokes. They have since started to tighten them!
