Wheel truing - Help removing wobble, flat spots, etc

Got some good recommendations after I wrote a post about how much should pay:
http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/maintenance/how-much-should-you-pay-for-a-bike-repair-in-a-london-bike-shop/

One commenter suggested:
London Bicycle Repair, SE1 - wheel true and spoke for £10
Also: http://londonbicycleworkshop.com/ - Not London bridge area but nearer to Gray's Inn Road (if you work in central). New shop so they don't seem to be charging much.

Any number of members will do this for you for less than a shop price.

Try Tommy: http://www.lfgss.com/member6.html

Cheers for the heads up, will give Tommy a go I reckon.

Cheers
Was after a reasonably priced wheel truing myself

Ask Martin aka broken_777 on here. He's in borough. He will be very reasonable for a simple truing job, also very reasonable for builds, charges for spokes you may need at cost etc.

I can true a wheel

but the tools are at home in kew

pm me if you wish to come over

Price is cider or other intoxicant

payment best made after job done!

...and use the fucking search, Osh.

Your adorable avatar has saved you long enough.

I had to get my rear wheel retrued yesterday, got to work and half the spokes were rattling around?!? £15 at Evans, they did a good job too...

I can help you with the wheel

But if you have paid them I'd take it back

Being OCD makes me an excellent wheel builder.

In W9 if it helps anyone.

Hi, im looking for someone in the wandsworth / clapham /wimbledon area to true up a couple of wheels for me.
Please pm me .
Thanks

Sorry but I've no idea about anyone in tht area, howeverrrr. It's pretty simple to do. Takes a little time but it's not too hard. Just takes patience and a bit of wit.

That video explains it really well, and highlights geting the wheel radially true (imo the hardest part) But yeah, allyou need to do is follow his instructions, and buy one of these.

There are a few different sizes so make sure you get the right one

i am in kew

pm me

Hello, can anyone help me true up or true up a couple of wheels anywere near wimbledon .
Please reply. Instead of replying then not answearing pms .
Thanks

You must have bike shops in south west london...

No?

Why not state the obvious .
I was looking for someone to do it and show me how at the same time!

Oi guv

am v v busy up until the weekend

can poss meet Saturday or Sunday pm if convenient

I'd suggest you get a spoke key to fit your nipples

it's about the only tool you will need

I do have a proper truing stand and can show you the basics and tighten them up for you

Hi James ,Thanks for replying pm on its way.

hey. a friend of mine is doing a triathalon tomorrow morning. his wheel is a bit wobbly and needs truing. anyone around that can do this tonight? like... now?

bumpy... help! help!

The area might help make people decide, where is he?

Some of the poloistas will probably be at the Northgate (nr Downham), one of those guys will probably do it if you bring them beer/cider/drugs/prostitutes...

I UTFS so just gonna ask a similar question on here...

Could anyone true up my not-that-badly-untrued wheel for me? It's just wobbling a bit, but no one likes that. My over expensive LBS have assured me it can be fixed with a spoke key. I'm in Greenwich so if anyone is in South London.... let me know.
I could probably pay up to about £8 and I will come to you.
Cheers!
Henry

learn to do it yourself henry, it's very logical and straightforward. honestly.
Google wheel-truing and see what videos can show you.
it would take 5 mins to show you in real life.
