Wheel Jig

  • I'm looking to buy a new Wheel Jig, one that I can both build and true with. Can anyone advise which type to get.

  • bump..

  • Park Tool TS 2.2

  • Does anyone have any experience of this truing jig:

  • You can make your own ... if you have a friend that is handy at welding.

    .... My dad did. Was pretty good for 700cc wheels ... useless for any other size.

  • Buy the TS 2.2 from the USA and hope to avoid tax.

  • just received a ts2.2 and feel I'm not gonna regret it, looked at others cheaper but they all appeared to have a limiting feature when compared to the ts2

    just gotta start using it now...

  • I made one bolting together some old scraps of angle iron and then arranging bits of wooden stick (like rulers) to act as the feelers. Very Heath-Robinson - but functional. I've built and trued several wheels on it. Also a home-made dishing tool from bits of that "cardboard" angle stuff used by builders to protect corners of plasterwork, and a 10cm piece of an old measuring tape in the middle to tell me how far to the drop-out.
    ...so I'm sure any commercial product will do the job!

  • There are very good plans to build one in Roger Musson's online book @ Wheelpro.com. I made one and it works very well. Cheers
