This is a good tool to have on the bench as the final check is more reliable, and because centering can be checked easily without ever removing the wheel from the bike. It is adjustable for several wheel sizes, and can be used without removing the tir...  Read More

The feeler is a little wobbly, and the friction lock has to be adjusted just right. I think i'd prefer some sort of threaded setup here so that i can position the feeler precisely. My only complaint is that i find adjustment to be somewhat difficult a...  Read More

It is basic but will tell you whether your wheel is dished correctly or not. Beside a hand built dishing tool this works like a champ.



Cons

It does the job, but adjusting the gauge is annoying because it moves as you tighten the knob. The wag 3 is a much better design.

    I dont want to discount the value of this tool but with other high quality wheel tools this would be lower on my list of higherend shop tools


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No matter how accurate the wheel i prefer to finfish the wheel in the actual bike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The first time i used this otherwise nicelymade tool it was apparent that the knob that secures the depth feeler was difficult to adjust just right so that the feeler didnt move when i secured it for depth


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A 17 cent fix that i would recommend you try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I checked a wheel that was just rebuilt at a local bike shop and found that while the wheel was true it was a little dished
