I have laced and trued motorcycle and bicycle wheel sets, but have not spent enough time at it to become competent and efficient.

Being as I'm now stuck at home a lot, I decided that I wanted to true the rear wheel on my 2015 Intense Tracer 275 Alloy Pro, so I just got a Park Tool TS-2.2P truing stand.

The first thing that I observe is that I'm going to need a 15mm shaft longer than the axle of the bike and a spacer to get the hub properly positioned in the stand for centering and truing the rim.

I presume that there must be kits for this; Park doesn't seem to have one.

Or, just flip the bike upside down.

Ordered, thx.

Don't know if the vee is wide enough on the park but with my old school stand I just put the axle in the hub and rest the axle in the vee. Works great no parts required.

Part of this is me being confused when learning how to use a new tool.

Yeah, from what I understand, only a 157mm hub doesn’t work with its own axle in a Park Tool truing stand (too wide).

There are a 12, 15 and 20 mm axle living on my truing stand.

Those qr inserts are probably more solid than a 20mm axle sitting in the V slot.

I just have some domed Park adapters with mine that clamp into the V's and then press into the end of the hub opening...

TS-2TA Thru Axle Adapters

Mounts quickly and easily to Park Tool TS-2.2 & TS-2 Truing Stands for full compatibility with thru axle hubs.

TS-TA Thru Axle Adapter

This simple adapter installs onto any thru axle hub so the wheel can be used in any Park Tool truing stand.

This one looks decent as well.

Not only that, but you get the wheel true with the frame, which tends to vary a bit from frame to frame, so true it in the frame I say, better than stand.

You are right, and I usually use some combination of both. Either true in the stand then fine tune on the bike, or get the dish right on the bike then bring to the stand to finish true/tension.

As to adapters, when I don't use the axle itself I prefer a design like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144523610897?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=u98ZUwn9SrC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
