You star guy! Worked great for me, saved a trip to the shop, cheated a bit, used the brake blocks as the guide and left the wheel on the upside down bike. Thanks from the UK

@will0lloyd Anything that works is not cheating bro. Good show. :)

thanks Gerry, I just got a new bike and feel the wheels aren't right and I've had bad experience of damaging wheels before so didn't want to ride before getting it sorted.

Going to get myself a spoke key today and some other bits n' bobs. :)

@javacofe Good Luck. Just remember practice makes perfect.

Are you in the middle of a freeway?

[xddorox]

@ospTube Almost, I live next to a busy 2 lane boulevard.

Cool but why didn't you just film this out in the middle of the Interstate,I think it would have been quieter

@endrachwer If you want to do a proper job, yes.

Yep, probably the spokes on the opposite side are tight too and the other side goes lower as well, or not?
