@cinebox@masto.hackers.town If you don't have access to a wheel truing stand and have never trued a wheel, it will be difficult (but not impossible). Is it a rim brake or disc? https://biketips.com/how-to-true-a-bike-wheel/

@CatsofArrakis@mastodon.social @cinebox@masto.hackers.town a spare fork, or your bike (carefully) sat upside-down / in a work stand, can work as a truing stand. Use the brake pad or a pencil as your indicator, braced with your thumb and held still at the point where it touches. There might be something you could clamp onto a fork/stay for this. You can also tune by ear, plucking the spokes to listen for equal tension.
