MAINTENANCE
Your TS-2 Truing Stand is lubricated at the factory. Occasional re-lubrication will provide many years of service.
To re-lubricate your TS-2, unscrew the caliper arm adjusting knob and shaft (Ref. #17) and the caliper adjusting
knob and shaft (Ref. #21) from the stand. Do not disassemble any other parts. A thin coating of grease should
be applied to the threaded portion and the end of each shaft. Reinstall the knob/shafts in the stand. Rotate the
upright adjustment knob (Ref. #9) counter-clockwise to spread the uprights to their maximum width. Apply a thin
coating of grease to the threads on the main shaft where it runs through the left and right pivot bushings (Ref. #3
and #7). All other pivot points and threads should be lubricated with a spray lubricant.
ADJUSTMENT
The TS-2 is adjusted at the factory to provide accurate centering or “dishing” of the rim between the locknuts of
the hub. The most important factor in achieving accurate dishing of the wheel is in the upright adjustment knob
(Ref. #9). This knob should be rotated so the “V” shaped notches in the two uprights just TOUCH the locknuts of
the hub. It is not necessary to “clamp” the hub between the uprights. Excessive tightening of the knob will cause
the uprights to flex, resulting in inaccurate dishing.
While the TS-2 is designed to provide automatic dishing of the wheel, imperfections in the parts of the wheel can
lead to erroneous readings in the stand. Slight imperfections in the shape or condition of the axle or locknuts can
affect the dish reading, as the imperfection is magnified significantly by the distance from the hub to the rim,
where the actual reading is taken. Because of this, for precision work, a dishing tool such as the Park Tool
WAG-1 or WAG-3 should be used to verify and make final adjustments.
