Wheel Truing & Spoke Repair
Straight wheels, smooth riding — sorted at your door
What we do
A wobbly wheel affects braking, shifting, and ride quality. We true wheels on-site using a professional spoke key and tension meter, correcting lateral and radial run-out to get your wheel spinning straight again.
If you've broken a spoke, we can replace it — subject to matching the correct length and type. We carry common sizes but may need to order specialist spokes for unusual wheels.
What's included
- Lateral true: Remove side-to-side wobble
- Radial true: Remove up-and-down hop
- Tension balance: Even out spoke tension across the wheel
- Spoke replacement: Replace broken spokes (subject to availability)
- Hub check: Inspect for play or roughness in bearings
- Rim wear inspection: Check brake track wear (rim brake wheels)

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my wheel needs truing?
If you can see the wheel wobbling when you spin it, or if your brakes rub on one side, your wheel likely needs truing. Pothole impacts are a common cause.
Can a badly buckled wheel be saved?
Often yes. Minor to moderate buckles can usually be trued. If the rim is cracked or severely damaged, we'll let you know honestly and advise on replacement options.
Do you build wheels from scratch?
Yes. If you need a custom wheel build — new hub, spokes and rim — get in touch and we'll discuss your requirements and budget.
