Once installed, the 238.2 Caliper Cap functions as an integral part of your truing stand's caliper arms. Its primary role is to provide a non-marring, stable contact point against the wheel rim during the truing process.

• Wheel Placement: Mount the bicycle wheel securely in the truing stand.
• Caliper Adjustment: Adjust the truing stand's caliper arms so that the 238.2 Caliper Caps are positioned close to the rim, allowing for precise measurement of lateral and radial runout.
• Truing Process: As you rotate the wheel, the caliper caps will indicate high spots or wobbles on the rim. Use appropriate spoke wrenches to adjust spoke tension, bringing the wheel into true. The caps' smooth surface helps prevent damage to the rim finish.

The precise design of the cap minimizes slippage and enhances work accuracy, enabling you to achieve perfectly true wheels.
