Message-ID: <5490005@acf4.UUCP> Date: Mon, 23-Sep-85 23:16:00 EDT Article-I.D.: acf4.5490005 Posted: Mon Sep 23 23:16:00 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 27-Sep-85 06:27:04 EDT Organization: New York University Lines: 15 I have recently started truing my own wheels, but I need some advice on making sure that the rim is centered between the axle locknuts and using the correct amount of dish for the rear wheel. I have an inexpensive dishing tool, but it is not readily apparent how to use it correctly. I have read many bicycle repair books and one book on building bicycle wheels, but I find that dishing/centering is never covered adequately. How do I use the dishing tool (I have the Minoura model) to ensure correct amount of dish? I know what some builders do is reverse the wheel in the truing jig or on the bike to see the relative offset, but utilizing a dishing tool should yield more precise results. Any help would be appreciated. -Dominic Mancello (cmcl2!acf4!mancello) Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
