ABSTRACT:
A method for trueing a spoked wheel, such as a bicycle wheel, is disclosed. Measurement data on lateral and radial runout and spoke tension all around a wheel is obtained, and the necessary spoke adjustments to true the wheel are determined from the data so that the wheel can be trued in a single pass or spoke adjustments. In one embodiment of the invention, individual influence functions for each spoke of a wheel which relate the effect of each spoke adjustment to the change in lateral runout and radial runout of the entire wheel rim, as well as on all spoke tension, are obtained. These, combined with measured data of a wheel, are utilized to determine the individual spoke adjustments that are required to true the wheel. A least squares solution can be utilized on a computer to solve for each of the spoke adjustments, and weighting factors can be employed to vary the accuracy of the lateral or radial trueness, or the spoke tensions.
