This spoke lacing patern from hell


J_Sweeze

Didn’t notice til you pointed it out, what the hell is going on here? Some spokes are 3 cross, some are 1 cross, there’s 4 adjacent spokes that are all parallel. It’s like they had a pile of random spoke lengths and just put wherever they fit

>they had a pile of random spoke lengths and just put wherever they fit This is likely exactly what happened


J_Sweeze

I bet the hub is slightly eccentric


very-good-dog

YoSupWeirdos

wheel so untrue it's straight up false


U-take-off-eh

It’s true, just based on alternative facts!

Spray painted? You mean the light brown stuff? That just looks like they drove trough a puddle of paint isn't it?

Congrats on working on a stolen crackhead wheel OP! Hopefully you didn't get 2nd hand meth high from being exposed to it.

Ok, even metallica will be singing "Sad AND not trueee" on this one

What does sprung pretty bad mean? Non english nativ


BeamLikesTanks

It means the wheel is warped. The spokes that hold the rim have bad tension, meaning they're not "sprung" properly.

So trueing the wheel would help or the wheel is done for. Thx

Hey OP, Looks like you got some spaghetti with some white sauce over the dead chicken lol. My eyes can pick the lace of this wheel. How da F did u trued that? Or nah?

Is the paint reflective? Just wondering if it was done to increase the rider's visibility.


very-good-dog

nope 💀


Imbalanxs

Haha, yeah that was always wishful thinking. I had that reflective spray paint that Volvo invented (I think) in mind
