Its worked for years for me.

Can you post a pic of your stand. Might be a small project for me to build. I plan on lacing up a few sets of wheels in the near future.

I sure wish someone could tell me more about this stand. I need a couple parts for it I think I will just have to make them.

The guy at RMATV said they had some kinda clip on the shaft to prevent side to side movement on the Tusk brand trueing stand. I order one today and will post pictures when it arrives.

rd, you are going to need a dial indicator set up with a magnetic base to properly true the wheels. or you could fab some sort of mounting tab that can be welded or clamped on the stand to hold the dial indicator in the proper location. you probably already knew that, but i thought i would put it out there.

BDI, i found a post online that a guy bought the same exact stand from these guys back in the 70's. Rocky Cycle Co., Sunnyvale, CA. maybe you could get ahold of them and see if they can help you out. i think this company is known now as tucker rocky but i'm not absolutely sure.
