Great video! Perhaps another video on how to determine specific torque values based on rim material, spoke length and spoke diameter , would be beneficial. Thanks again!
shouldnt u move the whole wheel over with spacers or washers? instead of the spokes? arent the spokes ment for the weight and the weight has to be inline of the wheel?
I've built my own bicycle wheels so was wondering what I could get from this. The torque value is specific to the spoke pattern/spoke gauge for that specific rim I assume but don't think you said that....
@@ChargedCycleWorks I just think it would be more widely considered than that specific wheel/setup.....but thanks for the clarification. I'd think spoke tension is still the best indicator in any case.
@ChargedCycleWorks I don't think trimming 1-2mm off some side knobby is going to affect going in a straight line or be a noticeable difference. But you have a lot more to risk if you mess up lacing the rim.
how do i do this without the spoke torque wrench, i just got a 16 1.85 rear wheel with bridgestone x30s from rippin moto and the chain rubs, i put on a chain spacer kit and it still rubs, can u help
Coming from a road racing & street bike background - wheel balance is a big thing. This doesn't seem to be the case on dirt bikes at all (cause of lower speeds I guess?). Will dishing the wheel like this throw it out of balance? Do you get a wobble?
Yes it may throw it out of balance if it’s not done perfectly. If you dish it then send it off to be balanced that will be okay, the couple millimeter offset is not a big deal, but balance is critical on the road. Off-road this is not nearly as important, however still a good idea to do!
Another great instruction video!! Thanks
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

will a chain spacer achieve the same goal?
Thank you!!
Interesting

Are the threads reversed? Clockwise is loose and counterclockwise is tight?

Mentioned in the video was that a warp 9 wheel was being torqued at their recommended 35 inch lbs

Seems easier to cut the side knobbies than to shift the rim.
Hurts traction big time to do that

Do this exact method but go off of feel instead of torque value

Give it some ride time, it'll self clearance...lol
Haha fair enough 😂
