Truing Stand
I have a Park TS 8 which is basic but good and sturdy. What is needed to get it to true thru-the axle wheels? It seems the Park site ways use adaptors but only for the front wheel? Does not make sense should work for both?

I know Park makes good tools. But when you get up into the area of tools costing several times what you are repairing, it makes you think a bit. |

I built my first wheel in a Brooklyn park[1] over many hours one sunny day many long years ago. It fell apart riding to work Monday morning. I walked the last mile or so.

Did you use Jobst's book to do the lacing, Robert Wright's "Wright-built" technique or are you just a super-genius who figured it out on his own? I got loand the 'wright built' pamphlet by a coworker and used it to do the lacing on my rims. I never used Jobst's published technique, but it look like his way would have avoided the spoke weaving I had to do for the last course of spokes. The tensioning process was always tough...getting the 'hop' out. I always took care to turn each nipple the same amount before tension began being appreciable, but, still.... I ended up with a good result but I sure don't feel like natural. How many spokes were your wheels? As a Clydesdale I do 40 in front and 48 in back. pH in Aptos |

I would have to drive to Amsterdam. How long did you take to solve that? Lou |
