So far 4, and they have not gone out of true. I have never broken a spoke, ever, on any wheel.

I'm not saying I'm a pro wheelbuilder. I'm saying you don't need a truing stand to true wheels, or to get into wheelbuilding. It's an expensive item, and you might never use it again. It makes more sense to start out without it, and move up if you start feeling like you could use it.

But thanks for the attitude.
