Yeah, what he said! I do flip the wheel over to check for dish. With the Park TS-2, I've also found that rotating the axle in the V's of the arms can affect the way the wheel sits just a bit. You need to do that to 'settle' the wheel just a bit better in the stand.

If you build the wheels yourself you can be as partic'lar as you wish. I like to line up the Campagnolo on the hub so it and the rim sticker are in the same line of sight, and of course, pulling spokes on the inside! ;o)

anally yours,

Dan, nobody else builds my wheels, Artley in Parkton, MD (If its wrong, its MY fault!)

There are two ways to change adjust the calipers on the TS-2 that give you a rough idea of whether the wheel is dished properly. Instructions can be found here -- http://www.parktool.com/repair/readinstructions.asp?id=135 . One adjustment pertains to the caliper arm and the other to the upright arms of the stand.

Always use a redundant method of checking wheel dish and don't trust the caliper arms. You can use a dish gauge or flip the wheel around in the stand--even if the caliper arms on your stand are misadjusted a centered rim will be in the same relative position to the misaligned arms no matter which way the wheel is turned.
