Well I was hoping for something a little better than eyeballing it, especially since I'm not convinced my end isn't a little out of alignment. Although the first build will be for my mtb which is still pristine, so maybe it'll be cool.

Anyhow, I'm not horribly concerned since I do have a tensiometer (on order, anyhow) and it'll be single speed, so equal length spokes, equal tension, it should just center without too much thinking about it. But I thought it might be nice if I was going to the effort of building my own wheels.
