i suppose it depends on the wheel,a bud tried it on a deemax and it worked ok.

Dishing is really as simple as loosening one side and tightening the other. Just because it's simple doesn't make it easy though - I've seen a lot of P bikes and Demos where the owners have tried and ended up turning the wheel oval.

I just wonder how it works on the carbon wheels ... maybe there is some method of adjustment in the hub?

Hey, nice bike, probably ordering mine soon. just a question though, did it come with the xt's or did you get those seperately. either way im probably going to get them or just upgrade to the oct's.
