I'm gonna make my first attempt at building a new wheel for my trials bike. I'd like to know what tools I should be looking into. such as what truing machine should I buy and do I really need a dishing tool? Thanks

If you are going to use it alot than get the trick one ,It is cast aluminum and has the ability to dish right on the stand ( I know all of them do this but the trick one does not take as much set up to do this )
