Hub/dish dilema

Haven't really read through the whole thread, so if this already has been said then I have an excuse :)


When I used to true my mod wheels (116mm) they could really easy sit wrong in the truing stand making it appear like it was dished wrong... Never had this problem with 135mm hubs though :)

so the rim was not center of the axles point of contact with the frame? (Wow that reads like a mad question)

Sorry English isn't my first language, could you please rephrase that? :$

Haha, I wrote it and got confused reading it.

I just tried three times to rephrase it, havnt managed it :S

If the spacers are swapped left to right, I get that the rim will be over to one side on the jig, but it seemed you were saying that if you turn the wheel 180 (so the sproket side is opposite) that the rim wouldn't be centre of the jig

Nah not really. It's more like: Many of the truing stands I've used doesn't really 'like' having a 116mm hub clamped to it. The hub usually sits quite badly in the truing stands and easily slipps a bit and can sit itself badly making it appear like it's dished to one side. Don't really know if this makes any sence though.. :)
