Wheel Truing Add On for Park PCS10 Work Stand?

[bpsmith]

My PCS10 work stand arrived today and tried my old MTB on it after building. Great work stand btw!

Anyway, saw the Wheel Truing add on for it prior to ordering and wondering how good it is?

The MTB back wheel definitely needs truing and maybe the front too and thinking that this could be worth the spend. Any experience guys?

turn the bike upside down , rest your hand on the brake block near the rim and true from there either side, i can get to within a 1 mm either way by feeling any out of true with the thumb .

Interesting. Can already feel the slight buckle in the rear, doing similar with the brake block actually rubbing in one place as the wheel turns. Will get a spoke tool sometime soon and give it a go.

No hurry for the MTB, as its old and thinking of getting shot of it, but going to use it to practice trying before checking out my road bike.

Another interesting idea. How often do you guys check your wheels?
