Automatic Truing Machine - I want this!

I do most of my own wrenching, but truing is one thing I do not enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUnbUxw6anQ It even stress relieves with the rollers. |

Garbage in - garbage out
Truing is only a small piece of a wheel build. ...and FWIW for the price of that machine you could buy a lifetime of great wheels and always have them built by the best hand builders around....and buy a lot of new bikes with the left over money. |

When you take rider weight into account when choosing rims (shallow 400g rims are not OK even on the front for 200 pound riders) you may never true a wheel until the rim needs replacing due to worn out brake tracks even when you're not very dainty running over pot holes. |
From what I understand to true a wheel you just need to get really drunk and bounce it a few times against the floor.

For the drunkard, not the wheel. |
