Truing wheels while in the bike is just a quick way though, you could easily build a truing stand yourself, all there has to be is a couple stationary pieces that you can adjust to the rim...
I tried the wire ties, I mean I guess I'll try it again... given I woke up late so I had about 10 minutes to find wire ties then try them out. I was just going to buy a truing stand just to make 100% sure my wheel is straight.
What it all comes down to is, my wheel is completely straight. The rim doesn't wobble one single bit. BUT I have a feeling that even though it's straight, the dish isn't in line... I'll see what I can do, I'll try a tape measure and see what happens.
