here's the thing about "light gap" truing with a stand that uses indicator arms like the Park or this one. it is nearly impossible to identify the ONE spoke (not 2 or 4) that is contributing to lateral AND radial runout. This is the magic trick that Ric Hjertberg teaches in his classes. The deflection indicators on the PK Lie make this very easy.

that is really interesting, I don't build a lot of wheels, but after my last build using a stand that looks like below, I will get better stand if I build any more wheels. like repairs stands, quality helps
