On tour .. a stick will do.
I recently purchased a second dial gauge .. for truing spoked wheels.. so much easier when you can see and put a number on what is going on.

Yup, if you're into hair trigger timing ancient two strokes you'll need a dial gauge. I've gone through a few pistons over the years with RD's et al when the setting has been less than optimal.
I probably spend more time messing around with the dial gauge on my old H1 Kawasaki triple than I do riding it. It's always annoyed me that on something where thousandths of an inch matter the adjustment method is based on tapping overlapping base plates round with a hammer.
