Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CycleDoctor Not bad on a budget. Just about the cheapest wheel truing stand out there. hardly a precision device but with a bit of experience in truing wheels you should be able to get lateral 'trueness' within 0.5mm without much trouble. Also folds up very nicely. If you built or true wheels often seriously consider investing in the Park stand. 19 October 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by KRISHOLM4EVOLUTION For the price this is great kit for wheel build/ truing Fully adjustable, versitile and slightly more than at probikekit its worth while. i want nothing but perfect rims and this with parktool tensioner make a great combo. 09 September 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous Cheap and very cheerful Just used this stand to do my first wheel and it was completely competent for the job. It held the wheel tight and tightened sufficiently to the work top so there was no flex. Very happy with this. 05 May 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous Not worth the price This was my first truing stand that I purchased. I realized after trying to use it for a few hours that the construction is so poor that is basically useless. Mainly you would expect this to be a precision instrument that you do not need to bend (to fit in wheels with different hub sizes like rear and front) and the pointer-screws fit in so tightly (effect of bad construction) that you need to use tongs to screw them in and later to adjust them (instead of just two fingers like any precision instrument). This has the first nasty effect of scratching the handle and most important you risk bending the whole thing!!!! Basically you are better off by using your break pads as pointers when the wheel is mounted on the bike!!!!! This method is almost as precise and even cheaper. 01 January 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous Great Value This stand is largely pre assembled with medium sized machine screws. The legs and adjusters do flex a little under load. If you wang the wheel about, the frame will wobble. I am an amateur wheel straightener. I have had two wheels in this badboy, on my desk in my office for the last few days. The adjusters are not perfect - but they are perfectly functional. I am down to 1mm radial and lateral in a 135mm x 9mm qr back wheel right now. My wish would be for 1 more arm to the back of the stand (so you can set and forget an original dishing reference point), but that is me being picky (and trying to save on a dishing stick). I would recommend, and buy the same again. My last wheel truing efforts were done in the garage working in-place with zip-ties, and now, frankly, I feel like a king with this badboy on my desk in the warm! 01 December 2012

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous Spend more and get more This truing stand caused me great frustration and loss of my week-end! My first impressions of the stand were that it was sturdy and well made. The clamp works well for fixing to your work-top and everything feels well made. However, the arms of the stand are designed to flex in (with quite a fair bit of tension) and then need to be held firm with the wheels QR. This, at first, seems an OK compromise for accomodating different wheels.... it's not until you reach the later stages of the build that you realise that this set-up isn't fit for purpose. You are tuying to adjust a wheel to within mm tolerances, however the torsion induced by the arms scews the wheel in the horizontal and vertical plane, basically making it impossible to finish the job. Additionally, as the wheel doesn't sit straight in the stand then dishing becomes a real big problem and it is impossible to find a centre reference point (necessitating a dishing tool). Finally, with no possible way of knowing how the wheel is sitting the screw pointers (which are nasty to use) are worthless. As Confucius didn't say: If you want a true wheel, then one must buy a true stand…., and not cheap c***! I spent hours trying to "make it work", thankfully CRC have allowed me to return the item and I have bought the Park TS2.2 instead (awesome!). 08 March 2012

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous cheap truing stand, easy to use I own (and several friends too) this truing stand. Have purchased because it seemd to me a good compromise between functionality and price. Don't know similarily priced truing stand like this but would rather prefer more professional product in the future 08 April 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous Better than Expected This is a very nice, quality stand made in Holland. When clamped to your work table it is solid as a rock. I am very pleased as it is much better than I expected for the price. Entirely adequate for the home mechanic. 02 April 2010
