WheelTrue: Spoke Tension and Truing Diagnostic Guide

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page provides an interactive diagnostic for bike wheel issues. Users describe where the rub or wobble occurs, how severe it is, and which wheel position, then receive a step-by-step truing plan with spoke direction and quarter-turn guidance.

The page includes presets for common problems, a scenario walkthrough, common mistakes to avoid, and a printable spoke-tension reference. Start by selecting your wheel position (front or rear), then choose the type of problem you are experiencing.

Describe where the issue occurs and how severe it is. The diagnostic will generate a step-by-step truing plan showing which spokes to adjust, which direction to turn them, and how much to adjust.
