How to Dish a Bicycle Wheel | TheBikeTube.com

In this vid Mike shows how to use a dishing wheel to make sure your bicycle wheel is properly dished.
A properly dished wheel is centered over its hub. When centered, the rim is known to be laterally (side to side) true. If the dishing tool finds one side of the hub to be further from the rim than the other it will be necessary to tighten the spokes on that side of the wheel and hub and loosen the spokes on the other. You will need a dishing tool, spoke wrench and some kind of truing stand or device (also can use front fork) Ride on amigos.

Sure your good at what you do but making videos isn't your vocation.

Wait a minute. One side has a cassette holder. So that side is going to be pointing out to one side more than the other side.

I'm just staring with building wheel, but in the first part It looks like you build it wrong.

I mean, I just read and saw the graphs on Sheldon Brown's Web, and the inner spokes are different in this video, the ones on the non-drive are right, but it look like in the other side are wrong.

I'm confused right now.

Could I start building it like the tutorial of the 36-holes wheel tutorial?

I mean, first one side, then the other side, and then the thing of "over over under" with the 3-cross thing?

@scriewy that's explained in the first build a wheel videos, leave 3 threads showing.

the series starts with thebiketube's third oldest video.

i dont get something, how do i get to the situation that the spokes are tensioned equally before i start making precise 1/4 turns ?

i mean the final adjustment of 1/4 turns is pretty precise, but who said i already tightened the spokes to some equality before the final adjustments, because i dont know how much to tighten the spokes from the beginning.

did you use the tension gauge tool ?

thanks.
