If you are like me, you can ensure this is done by using a caliper. You can also tie a string between the fork and mark the exact center point between the two sides. That can serve as a reference point for your 'dish'. Thank you for the comment. You made a very good point that people should be aware of that I didn't mention in the video. [endtext]

Mine is every bit as good, but not maple and I didn't finish. Could have, but no need too. Use what you have, don't need to spend much if anything. [endtext]

I had someone ride into my rear wheel a couple of days ago resulting in two broken spokes just like yours: one broken at the nipple and the other down near the hub. I knew roughly how to replace mt spokes already, but this video was good reassurance.. now I have to true the wheel without a stand. [endtext]
