Wheel Building Tool— What did I buy?
Picked this up today at a store closing. Wondering if anyone know the brand and if there is documentation for it?
Thanks!
Gary

Motorcycle truing stand is my thought due to the runout dial gauges. I helped a friend on this a while back, and we decided against building a wheel as you set your tensions using a special torque wrench that goes on the spokes. Obviously a motorcycle or car spoke wheel has stiff spokes that can't be checked by deflection of the mid spoke. So torque becomes the guiding part of the setup That said, too much runout at highway speed could make a wicked vibration. Thus the gauges. I would walk into a motorcycle shop and ask. If you can get close setting up a bike wheel it should work for lateral trueing. I don't see a way on that to check for radial roundness, aka a "hop" in the roundness.
