No truing stand. I don’t do enough truing or have the jedi like skills to true wheels to justify the cost of one. I’ve done a tweak to other wheels before to just get them less wobbly which worked but needs a lot of patience. Not sure what I was doing really though, just trial and error but going one at a time, spin, another, spin, until it seemed okay. Just wondered if the twin-pair was more or less complex or different to the technique.
Would certainly go for the LBS if I could get it done for £15. I may check with mine. It’s not essential, but there’s a wobble there. Rides perfectly though.
And yeah, CB have issues but I’ve grown to like the Iodines. They came with the bike so wouldn’t have normally bought them but the bling was the icing on the cake. Have had two warranty repairs though, both on the rear, one for the rim, one for the freehub (not the known issue, but a split lockring thread. Basically soft ali freehub + hard steel cassette lockring at fault I think). Anyway, the rim issue was a freak occurrence and the freehub is fine if you use ali on ali. Oh and annoyingly 10 speed sram cassettes clash with the hub flanges. Means I’m running XT cassettes on the thing to avoid eating the hub (steel spider also eats into freehub, ali ones don’t).
But aside from that… ;). When treated right they run nicely. They’ve stayed true for couple of years and are only a little out now, and that’s with a run in the alps, places like Stiniog, BPW, Cwmcarn, Aston Hill.
