My road bike's rear wheel is out of true. I have an appt. to get it repaired but I want to learn how to do it myself -- anyone have experience truing wheels? I'm afraid to put wrench to spoke on my own for fear that I'll do irreversable damage.
I want to become self-sufficient dammit!

Try the Park Tool web site.
Or, take a six pack with you when you take the bike to the shop and see if they'll let you watch and learn as they work (before they drink the beer).
I did a quick check on youtube.
All you need to do is wear dark sunglasses, get some maaaaaajor air and um... get ummm... a special um.... tool.

Thanks Gravy -- that's 2:35 seconds of my life I can't get back. That dude was smoking something maaaaajor.
Bob K -- yeah, there's plenty of those sites out there, but truing isn't something I want to learn without someone standing over me yelling -- "NO, what the hell are you doing that for!"
Now that I think of it -- my wife might be of use for this...
