Hi all. I've had the bad luck of passing over a few bad spots in the roads with my wayfarer roadbike. I know the whole point of spokes is to align the rim, but how do you go about doing so?
any kind of pointer will work. Get a good quality spoke wrench too, the cheap ones can round off nipples.BTW- I made a quick and simple truing stand with some plywood and 2x4. I cut a slot in the plywood base, and used the 2x4 to mount the wheel in. I cut a V groove in the top of each 2x4 and mounted them on the base. I put that on a couple of saw horses and where the wheel goes through the slot I have a moveable piece of metal screwed on as a crude "run out" gauge.
And what's wrong with round nipples? I kinda like em round.......and pointy tooany kind of pointer will work. Get a good quality spoke wrench too, the cheap ones can round off nipples.
