Hello Guys,
A little tinkering very useful ! Some photos more explicit than my Googlish.....
- A few pieces of plywood
- Two 12mm bolts
- Two positions for the 14 "and 17"
- Two bearingsr rollers or similar
- Two pieces of plastic, or modified roller wheels
Soon

Dennis it is'nt rocket science........
I do this for over 30 years,also lacing an truing my racing wheels mostly using an old bicycle front fork with an adjustable steel lip to see the horizontal and vertical movement in the rim.
The setup in the vice was the first time i used a dial(bicycle fork was gone with the wind)and the vise,worked out perfect movement was in 1/10th of a mm.
That is close enough for a motorcycle or a CK,even 1mm you won't notice on a racing bike and on a CK i'll think you can have a 10mm without problems.
Lets don't make it more difficult as it is.......

Fabrice your solution is very useful for wheels without bearings,with my method you need bearings in the hub.
Only problem i see with your setup is that it is a large contraption you need to store somewhere and in a small(4x6meter)like mine i can't afford losing the space.
Therefore i used a front fork of an old bicycle,easy to store and i welded a piece of flat bar to the end so it could be clamped to the workbench.

That is exactly what I used to true hundreds of wheels with in my dad's bicycle shop in the 70s!Only problem i see with your setup is that it is a large contraption you need to store somewhere and in a small(4x6meter)like mine i can't afford losing the space.
