It's lateral symmetry/alignment which is the challenge. As @TooTallTim says using a known true wheel will help. If you have a hole in the bottom of your fork crown and can source the exact right diameter tube to slot into it then you create a third, central leg to compare the two fork legs against. I did this on my tandem forks.

Hi. Any tips for cold setting forks? I've got a weird set that are 80mm spacing (not squished - meant to be like this) and want to spread them to 100mm. @sacredhart had the useful advice to do it with threaded rod and nuts/washers, unwinding slowly. Any other tips for getting them straight / wheel well aligned etc?
