Just been sorting the shed and dug this out, I love having it but I've got 2 other jigs & it's taking up space. Any ideas what I ought to ask?

It's missing a (rather important) bit. There should be a flat table bit that slides onto the two prongs with guides to track the rim. Unless you've got that it's unusable.

Still worth a bob or 2 on ebay, most truing stands never seem yo go below £40 no matter the condition.

But you're gonna struggle to use that as a truing stand...

@rusty 90 I have that but on the odd time I've used it (36inch wheel builds) I've used a dial guage mounted to the rod.

Thanks joe et al. I guess ebay will tell me. hope it was of some interest. it's quite basic compared to the others. The only thing going for it is the ability to accomodate [url= http://www.cokercycles.com/coker-monster-cruiser/ ]36inch wheels[/url]
