I wouldn't own any other stand that I reviewed
Okay, the Park Tool truing stand is expensivee, I acknowledge that fact, but when it arrived and I opened the unexpectedly heavy box, the quality built into the tool was obvious and I knew that I had made a good choice, one that will last for many years. The truing stand is fantastic and though its a hundred dollars more than the others I was looking at, its well worth the extra money. The tool is very accurate, its a precision instrument. Ive used it on 3 wheels thus far and its made my life so much easier. I wouldn't want to own a good bike without this. It will help make maintenance more enjoyable. I look forward to adding the gages that are available soon. If you are wavering on which stand to buy, just look at the photos. The others are sometimes of weird and flimsy design. This thing is awesome. Also...no need to add the axel stem, at least not for me. My road wheels fit nicely and easily into the tool without messing around. They clamp right in and the adjustments are easy.
