Park Tool has since come out with this very extreme $372 http://www.parktool.com/product/prof...ing-stand-ts-4, but my Park Tool TS-2.2 with the attachments listed in Post #7 of this thread has allowed me to do everything, including 190mm hubs as well as thru-axles.
This newest truing stand accommodates hubs up to 215mm!

Spin doctor for around $60.
Remove bolts and rotate arms.
Might need to make tabs for outside of rim cradle for truing; but easy enough to do if you remove original dials.4 Photos

I ended up buying these Park Tool products: http://www.parktool.com/product/prof...g-stand-ts-2-2, http://www.parktool.com/product/upri...tors-ts-2ext-2 and then this for my thru axle hubs: http://www.parktool.com/product/thru...-stands-ts-2ta.

I would build one using Misumi aluminum rails, which are like 8020 rails but better service and lower cost. Lay out a design and they'll cut the parts, then you just bolt it together. Like these: http://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/mech/M...0/M1501010000/

I thought I would give you my urban hillbilly option. Sitting out in the garage, with a box fan blowing, and radio playing. I could spin spokes all night,

I need a wheel truing stand that accepts 190mm hubs.
My hub motors have 170 and 190mm dropouts. Park Tool sells a wheel truing stand that accommodates up to 175mm hubs (https://www.amazon.com/Park-Tool-Pro...l+truing+stand, but nobody sells and affordable wheel truing stand that accepts a 190mm hub. My rims are 82-100mm wide.
This German company sells one, but it is very expensive at approx. $1,500.00: http://www.pklie.de/truing_stand.html.
I have already done a pretty extensive Google search and seen that others have tried the following:
(1) Make your own.
(2) Use a motorcycle wheel truing stand.
(3) Modify a bicycle truing stand to accept wider hubs.
My arguments against these solutions are as follows:
(1) I might not have the time and skill to do this, and I prefer to buy my tools ready for service.
(2) I like to use the right tool for the job, specifically a bicycle truing stand for a bicycle wheel.
(3) I have seen these mods and they are only able to support the weight on one side (like a Lefty shock). My motor weighs 25 lbs, and I need that weight to be supported on both sides of the truing stand.
