Is that a Amp disc?Bigwheel said:I like the Ultimate system personally, it will true your wheel with tire while mounted to the bikestand,

and is the only one that I have found that will work for trueing your discs also.

That pic never gets old...simply marvelous.Bigwheel said:Seemed like a good idea in 99'.

And to answer the other question, in the top photo you can see the post base of the truing stand mounted to the top of the post of the workstand itself.
Well lets see, for awhile it resided here with after a freshening up by the boys at AMP and an AMP to Hayes adapter that was made by a guy in OZ that I got a chance to be in on,donkey said:
Nice, glad it's still around and in use(sort of). I'm sure it provides a different ride from the other currently available options.Bigwheel said:Well lets see, for awhile it resided here with after a freshening up by the boys at AMP and an AMP to Hayes adapter that was made by a guy in OZ that I got a chance to be in on,

Was replaced by a rigid fork and now that bike is gone to the OR beyond and the fork resides in the overhead here awaiting its fate along with the wifes 2 model.
I have this stand. I am not sure how good it is at dishing. It is very hard to get this stand to dish correctly. You must adjust the "V" shaped "drop downs" at the top so that they are perfectly aligned. Otherwise, as you turn tighten up the legs, the wheel (actually the spot on the wheel at wich you are measuring the dish) will move closer to one or the other side. You can observe this by not fully tightening the device, putting the pincers/calipers close to the wheel and then tightening it a little more. If the wheel doesn't remain centered perfectly between the pincers, the dropins are not adjusted correctly. You can always test for dishing by turning the wheel around, reinserting it into the stand, and using the same amount of torque on the closing mechanism. If the pincers are the same distance on each side of the rim, it is dished correctly.Super E said:
Agreed that Ultimate stepped up to the plate long ago and offered a 29er friendly, quality piece of equipment at a super reasonable price. I really like the disc truing capability and the fact that the Ultimate is easy to take along with their stand. When I get some spare time I have plans to add some simple personal modifications onto my stand to make it capable of disc truing.Bigwheel said:
I use a dial indicator with a base that magnetically mounts to the arm on my Minoura truing stand to true my disc rotors. The dial indicator is very useful because it tells you not only where the deviation is in the rotor but also how much it is. I also find it usefult when building and truing wheels.Super E said:
I have used over half a dozen Park TS-2 truing stands and own one myself. I have never depended on it for dishing because it's always so off. It's funny because you can change the relative position of the wheel in the stand by changing how much you tighten it. In fact, on mine I prop open the left caliper so it's out of the way by wedging a 3mm allen wrench at the bottom of it, and solely use the right caliper. I always use a separate dishing tool instead.Quasi said:
