Hey guys, I have an old Takara Road bike that I have cleaned up pretty well but now I want to get rid of the wobbles in both of the wheels. I have the tires and tubes off of the rims and am trying to true the wheels by using the brake pads. I have watched many videos online and still can't get it right. I find the wobble, tighten the gapped side clockwise and Im just not getting the full picture. I think it now has a wobble that started up in another spot. I was wondering if you guys had advice on how to maybe reset the wheel and start from scratch, like many loosen all spokes and then do equal turns on each one? is this a good idea? Because at this point the wheel is worse than when I started.

thanks
