ChrisF Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 At the local hardware store - Brights. I have previously seen much narrower units .... with this wide unit you have to go up 2 or 3 gears. R43 for the bolt, and R26 for the pulley .... "bit" better priced than the branded tools .... maybe I should invest in some blue paint and sell it .... Found a "wheel" from an old project ... cut the tread off and now have the perfect "narrow pulley" - just had to drill out the 8,5mm hole for the 12mm shaft.

Eddy Gordo Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 where ?No Idea, saw it on MTBR. However once can make a hack version.I would use a piece of wood to cable tie against the fork lowers. And a gutter bolt which you can turn/adjust thru the piece of wood to align the rim.
Eddy Gordo Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 found this looking for the fouriers one http://www.wheelfanatyk.com/blog/wheelbuilding-tip-no-18-make-a-portable-true-stand/
ChrisF Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 One of the known hacks - cable tie around the fork, pulled fairly tight. Move the cable tie so the tip is "close" to the rim .....

And a gutter bolt which you can turn/adjust thru the piece of wood to align the rim.2 pencils and elastic bands have worked for me for the past 30 years. Pencil marks the rim where it's pulled making it easy to true.
Alouette3 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 How many zip-ties can I buy for the price of that bling device!
