Speaking of rim-truing ...
I have a heavy-duty on-topic park TS-2 shop truing stand :
http://www.parktool.com/
I have noticed that it seems to lack any side-side adjustment for the rim sidewall arms, and when I lay a wheel in the stand and true up the rim, it doesn't always center perfectly on the bike.
What do people do about this problem?
This stand was purchased with a 20%-off discount for about $140, and I'm wondering if maybe its an inferior version made overseas? While I agree it's an indestructably heavy stand, the manufacturing precision of this stand is at best, mediocre (for example, for the rim sidewall arms have rough crude stamped edges that contact the rim.)
Have other low-cost truing stands made this stand obsolete?
