Remember when we used to true wheels by feel?

Back in the 90s I'd just spin a wheel and guess where to tighten. Now I use a dial indicator every time after I spent 3 hours chasing a wobble on a customer's bike last spring. Anyone else switch to measuring tools later in your career?

Wait, did the dial indicator actually save you time after that 3 hour wobble chase, or was it just more satisfying knowing it was spot on?

@olivias88 that dial indicator was pure satisfaction honestly, but it also saved me from having to recheck the whole thing next week. It's like cleaning out your junk drawer takes forever, but then you can actually find the tape in 2 seconds.
