Dude is the Sensei of wheel truing. To the point, no BS. Simple and easy.

Will try this building my first wheel although i have a dishing tool.

if it works well, I wouldn't do replace my WAG5 for a WAG4 and a dial indicator on it.

What king of the dial Indicator the yellow one? It looks like a Mitutoyo. What model number? Thank you for your great advice!

Very interesting but I think the truing stand is centered at that one spot only (valve stem)- not the rest of the wheel. I used to do it this way but without that micrometer.

Nice! I have the Park Tool TS-2.2 truing stand. Do you know if there is a gauge-or respective adapter-available for it?

@PSIMET 4 жыл бұрын

CyberGolem absolutely. The same gauge package will work on the 2.2. I believe they call it a ts2di or some such.

when centering/dishing the wheel that has different spoke angles if you want to make a proper job... you should inflate the tire to the target pressure and check the centering/dishing because it changes according to pressure. that's why you usually take up to 1mm off (usually 0.5mm will do). and by the way, i HATE this x9, x10, x11, x12 thing. in an ideal world you would have THE OPTION of having a dishless hub with just 6 sprockets (16-17-19-21-24-28 would be the perfect fit) with a 3x6 drivetrain having for example 52-42-30 chainrings so the spoke angle on the DS is not too steep. boost hubs is a step in the right direction but anyway... the problem still exists. road bikes cannot have too large q factor by boosting the axle spacing.

Interesting, but what tool are you using to spin the wheel? Looks like a hex driver, I cannot find any tool that easily spins 9,12, 15 mm axles while in the truing stand. I have found that an 12 to 9mm axle adapter with a tiny bit of grease on the end of the adapter allows the wheel to be positioned the same when swapped left to right. Same with 15mm axle.

do you have a video regarding the centering of the rear hub?

It’s exactly the same.

Doesn't the truing calipers (not dial gauge) themselves, center the wheel. I remember when I bought my TS-2 probably 20 years ago, the main reason for the upgrade were the Self-Centering calipers: meaning the calipers centered the rim between the hub nuts, which would eliminate the need for a dishing gauge

Joe Eckenrod it’s a horrible design and definitely doesn’t hold center accurately. I wrote a blog post about it a few years back but in essence the backlash in the screw for changing arm spacing will throw off your center.

@@PSIMET interesting, makes sense though. I guess I should start checking the dishing on wheels then

Awesome~~!!! gauge.................Where can I buy it ???

@PSIMET 4 жыл бұрын

The gauges I use are available commonly online as a part for the Park TS2 truing stand. They call them a TS-2Di. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKemibVlq7PenJs.html I have replaced the gauges that came with using Mitutoyo indicators widely available on the market.

That's NOT centring a wheel. Centring would be (astoundingly) getting the hub in the centre. Up & down not side to side

@PSIMET 3 жыл бұрын

Centering or dishing is getting the rim centered over the hub. Truing the wheel laterally and radially is what you’re referring to. Your “up and down” is truing a wheel radially. Your “side to side” is truing a wheel laterally. Once again though - dishing the wheel is centering the rim over the hub to that the rim isn’t to one side or the other. You see you can have a perfectly true wheel (no runout laterally or vertically) that is also off center to the hub.
