Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I saw my back rim was wobbly and I think it’s because one side is tighter than the other but when I go to unscrew it I can’t get it off and I don’t have an impact and not trying to buy one by Ok_Capital_7008 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
Enelop on January 22, 2025 5:40 am Find a hollow pipe, then put it over the end of your wrench for leverage. Is called a “cheater bar” or “cheater pipe”.

Get-Me-A-Soda on January 22, 2025 5:46 am Have you tried some lube. When my back rim is too tight and wobbly, and I can’t get my nut off a little lube always works. You have to work it on real slow and get everything real moist and wet. Before you know it, three hours have passed and you’re getting your nut off.

A decent bike shop will get it out for free
Maybe some lube? You rub it off and get that nut out.
