Bladed Spokes
How can I make my wheel stay true longer?
I bought a Forte Titan front wheel about a week ago, and it already has a bunch of hops all the way around the rim. While I've been doing backwards circles and wheelies like crazy lately, i didn't expect my wheel to get out of true so quickly. It's a 16 bladed spoke 1x wheel, and it's brand new, so I suppose it should expected that it would be broken in so severely, but is there a way to strengthen the wheel? Should I switch to high-quality spokes and/or nipples? Since the spoke count is so low, should I attempt to true the wheel myself?
Thanks.
that is a ROAD wheel ....are you sure? if you are doing wheelies on a road wheel then NO wonder you have it out of true! Seriously STOP doing that to a road wheel- it is NOT top of the line by any means and should NOT be used for doing wheelies!!!
