The bicycle wheel is the most crucial component on your bike. If your wheels are not properly trued, it will cause your wheels to be weak and they can be prone to bending. Truing a wheel also involves centering it. If your car pulls to the left or right, you take it to the garage to have an alignment done so it will steer straight. With your bike wheels, if they are not centered (or aligned) your bike may also pull to the left or right. It can also affect the performance of your braking system. Spoke tension also is a big part of truing a wheel. If the spokes are too loose, the wheel becomes weak and can lose its centering or you may notice your rim rubbing your brakes in different places on the wheel. If your spokes are too tight it could cause damage to your hub and rim, and/or spokes could start breaking especially under load or on impact. Every wheel we true we make sure they are centered, have proper tension and are straight.
