That *is* a nice dishing tool. I have the Park TS2, the older model dishing tool and the dial upgrade for the TS2. The dishing tool flexes under its own weight, so one must hold it gingerly to get repeatable results. The dial gauges are decent, but the radial dial gauge scrapes the rim rather than rolling, so it's not great for carbon rims. The arms of the TS2 flex enough to negate the precision of the dials. Now I know why fixed posts are the best choice.
This is the best explanation of using the dishing tool I've seen. Many thanks
Best part of this exceptionally informative dishing lesson: his crack at the Catholic Church. Two thumbs up!
I didn't know John McCain cycles :)

Do dishing and truing tools have the same purpose or am I missing something?
True is straight, Dish is how far out one side is, cause the freewheel cogs take up space so that side has to be tighter.
That tool is a thing of beauty. If I didn't already have a Var tool, I'd probably buy one.
Great video! Many thanks!
I am so sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix.
