I guess my question would be why do you feel that is a problem worth solving? I know many folks go to incredible lengths to attempt to get what they feel are superior wheels (measuring, sorting, etc). I can tell you from my experience, we've never done that. We do a quality bore prep, but I've never touched any other part of the wheel. We've won every race we've ever been in at Pack/District level. For Mid-America, I purchase wheels, but I've never "tested" the run-out on any purchased wheel and we've been top 5 in MidAmerica graphite division last two years running.Vitamin K wrote:
So here's the problem I want to solve: There's no good way for cubs to true up their wheels that can be done without expensive equipment. There exists the Derbyworx wheel shaver, but I've actually become less pleased with this tool, the more I've worked with it and evaluated the output.
Anyhow, as before, just thinking out loud here. The ultimate goal would be to put more accessible tools into the hands of Scouts that could effectively yield quality parts without the need to resort to expensive equipment, or external services. All thoughts welcome.
