Its about doing it the right way once instead of a convoluted way every time you want to make a change.

damn! that sux

there a process with that trueing rims shit. take off the tire and put the rim back on the bike. then spin it. and what does it look like you should do. the spokes are like braces. make it straight, figure it out.  you should look something like this. haha
