Buckled wheel

[cqueen]

Hi I recently bought a 110cc pitbike, but it had a buckled wheel so ive waited 10 days for a new one.

its just arrived but again it has a slight buckle, i cant be arsed to wait for another one and aparently you can sort out a buckled wheel by tightening the spokes?

can someone tell me abit more about how to do it?
thanks

u shud be able to tell which 1s r lose by feeling them hold to spokes with ur thumb and ur first fingeer and pull them toward each other and u can tell if they r lose
u can buy spoke tightners from halfords *Etc* or shud b able to just use pliars simply just tighen them up

Run a key along the spokes around the wheel. Tighter spokes make different noises to more lose spokes.

ive marked where the wobble is and ive tried tightening the spokes in that area but theres no difference?

Ive just noticed what could be the potential problem, if you look here at the tyre its not evenly fitted into the rim, it feels pretty solid though...have a look n see what u think...

by the looks of it the wheel isnt buckled the tyre just isnt on properly!!!

Let the tyre down, use some fairy liquid to get it on the rim correctly and blow it up again . simple
