Laurence--Trials Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) thought it was 110mm? EDIT: my bad your right. (no supprises.) Edited April 26, 2012 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Mallinson Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Would be a decent idea (if you haven't thought to do it already) to make a cone shaped dropout on your stand to fit all axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah, 100mm for all 9mm, 10mm or 3/8th inch axles and 110mm for 20mm axles. I'm not so sure about 15mm but I think they're 110 too. Obviously you'd need a different sort of dropout for the bolt through axles anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieWilliams Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here's my homemade truing stand might give you some ideas http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2609844449839.2113086.1366825506&type=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here's my homemade truing stand might give you some ideas http://www.facebook....66825506&type=3 wont let me view it :/. yeah im gonna do a cone shaped dropout. im looking at instead of some highly adjustabe thing where i would need to measure the hub spacing and rim width etc to figure out where the rim should be centrered, im going to have 2 solid poles acting like forks, then different adaptors so i can true front, rear 135mm and rear mod rims, and the centre point for the rim will never have to be adjusted, if that makes sence? ill let you know how i get on soon ish.

RobinJI Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'd be tempted to copy the way that proper truing stands normally work. They tend to have a pair of arms/forks that adjust together evenly by pivoting at the bottom, and being adjusted by a bar with opposing threads on it that's held still. That way the centre stays as the centre whatever width it's set at, and you can hold the wheel in by tightening the legs against it, rather than needing to use the bolts/quick release, which lets you do bolt through wheels. They normally use V shaped dropouts allowing any diameter of axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah im using round tubing so im finding it difficult to try and design a proper working System. I just got some square tubing from work but its small. Ill do some thinking later and see what i can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
