TRUE-BASE
instructions manual
Thank you for choosing the MINOURA TRUE-
BASE
portable wheel truing stand.
True-Base holds a bicycle wheel on top of the pillars
for helping you to maintain the wheel.
The gauges that check vertical and horizontal
movement of the wheel are intuitive and easy to use.
True-Base folds down completely for easy trans-port
and compact storage.
Please read this instructions manual carefully before
use and keep handy at all times for future references.
Important Notes !
• Do NOT use True-Base for any purpose
other than instructed such as displaying
bike on it.
• Both right and left side pillars move
together for placing the wheel in the same
position whatever the hub width is, but it's
not 100% perfect so we recommend you to
use an optional wheel dishing tool together
for much more precise adjustment. We
don't guarantee any result by using this
stand.
• Axle Holder is a fixed type. Depending on
the hub width, you may have to slightly
bend Axle Holder by tightening the

Components
• PILLARS
Both right and left side Pillars are connected in the
body so they will move together at the same time.
You should hold both Pillars with both hands when
opening or closing them.
• AXLE HOLDER
Be sure that Axle Holder is a fixed type, not angle
adjustable.
It is crucial to set the wheel into the deepest position
of the Axle Holder by pushing down the wheel when
setting up the wheel on True-Base to get better result.
If one side has been lifted up due to bad installation,
the wheel won't become symmetrical.

tightening skewer power is not enough,
either hub side will be lifted up that makes
the wheel becomes angled and you cannot
expect correct result.
• Push down the wheel to set it in the deep-
est position on the Axle Holder when you
tighten the quick release skewer.
• T-shaped gauge for checking the prior
gauge center position doesn't come with
the kit. Purchase sseparately if necessary.
• Dishing Tool and Nipple Wrench are
necessary for maintaining the wheel but
they are not included in this kit. Purchase
