I don't want to buy a wheel stand...I'm too cheap. I saw a video on Youtube about a guy who made a wheel stand at home. I might try to make on instead so I can true the wheel easier with the wheel off the bike.
I used a junkyard find swiningarm off the back of a junk MC and braced it up with a strap of steel, all attached to a piece of 1/2 inch plywood... ARH
