HHHH

So my Campy Vento G3 rear wheel has gone slightly but noticably out of true. Contemplating fixing it before Dunwich Dynamo this weekend, but wary about this unique spoking pattern.
Just wondering if truing a G3 rear wheel is tricky/difficult? Would experience in lacing a couple of wheels in tri-cross pattern be good enough? cheers etc.

Saw Simon trueing one at the London Cycle Workshop the other day. He was happy when it was over. Give them a call.

True it like you would any wheel. Just be a bit sparing with the spoke key on the drive side. Its easy to pull the rim too far in that direction and difficult to get it to return.

Any LBS will be able to do it, it's not that bad to tru if you're well versed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
