Truing Park TS2 Truing Stand?
I adjust my Park TS2 stand using a front wheel, 100 mm axel, that I
know is centered on the axel. When I use the stand for a wheel with a rear wheel, with 130 mm axel, the truing stand is off. The wheel dish will come out with the rim to left of center. In other words, I need to move the rim towards the drive side. I checked with 2 dishing tools. Is there something that I should be doing differently to adjust the TS@ so that the self truing feature is not dependant on the distance between the arms? |

Even when I used a professional truing stand, I never trusted it to make a centered wheel. I always checked every wheel -- front and rear -- with a dishing tool. Then when I saw how off-center a wheel was, I adjusted it and rechecked, iteratively, until it was centered. This was years ago when I had a job that involved sitting for hours at a truing stand every day. Tom |

One of the arms is not moving equally when you widen the arms for the 130mm axle. Maybe some lube or something but the dish feature is centering the guides for the rim(I know you know that) but it depends on the arms opening equally... |

Mike my ts2 has been like that from new. imo, it's a very practical tool as it allows work with the tire on the rim, but for radial work, it's useless and for centering, as has been described by the op, it's not much good either. trust to a proper dishing gauge if you want your wheels to be centered and trust to a cheapo minoura if you want your wheels round. |

Altho I check my wheels with a dishing tool, my TS-2 does dish very accurately, always has. Not sure why the two mentioned don't. |
