The tension is fine. The thing is when I hold down the brake as hard as I can, they're off center, so I know something is a little goofy. The odd thing is they're off center even when I let off the brake, that's how I first noticed it.

Regardless, something is a little off center... but what? I would think it'd be the wheel given the amount of time I kept messing with it.

Also - I see on ebay there's a lot of truing stands and whatnot, but is there somewhere else where I can order them? Like are there certain kinds of truing stands, I'm looking for an entry level truing stand if one even exists...

Reason is, I'm getting my girlfriend a bike soon, and I'm sure I'll want to check out the wheels on her bike as well. It's 17 bucks per wheel at my local bike shop to get checked out. 17x3 = 51. Okay, why spend 51 dollars on getting the wheels straightened out if I can spend a little less or even the same amount for a truing stand and do it myself, that way in the future I already have the equipment there if I need it again.

Bottom line is - Is there anywhere where you can buy pretty cheap truing stands?
