Found a way to true a badly bent rim without a truing stand
Had this old wheel come into the shop last week that was so out of whack it wouldn't even spin in the frame. Customer wanted it fixed cheap, no way I was buying a new rim. I tried using the frame as a guide with zip ties but kept overshooting. Then I remembered an old trick from a forum years ago: put the wheel in the frame, use two zip ties as feeler gauges on each side, and adjust the spoke tension while watching the gap. Took me about 45 minutes but I got it within half a millimeter of true. Has anyone else tried this method for a quick fix?
