Budget option get the job done

Great product

Good very nice

received . now assembled and easy to use.. nice set up leaflet . saves me a walk to the bike shop.an addition to my small bike repair tools. was missing a truing stand..... the price point is value for what you get.

I upgraded my rating from 1 to 2 stars, and at the end of this edit, I have some ideas about how to make this stand much more usable.The stand is a simple, sensible concept but it’s missing a few details which render it less dependable than truing a wheel on your bike. Ultimately, I decided to return it.One key problem is that the post thickness is too narrow to securely clamp the wheels in place. One wheel I tried has an older 9-speed Dura Ace hub, and the other one I tried has a current, 11 speed Shimano 105 hub.After initially posting this review (thinking I'd need to fabricate some custom spacers to achieve a tight fit), I dug into my hardware collection and found some 3/8" diameter flat washers that work perfectly. These added the necessary thickness to clamp the wheel in place securely.The other problem is a bit of a head scratcher. It's very difficult to determine the center line of the wheel. I thought would be easy to do with a precision ruler or dial indicator.The problem is that it’s near impossible to set the post width at the base so the struts are perfectly parallel (matching the spacing for your hub/axle). I suppose you could cut some wood blocks or other material to set the distance at the base. This small error translates to a few mm of variability at the area of interest - the truing surface of the rim.A related problem is that you have no dependable means of positioning the two indicators to center the rim. You need to make an assumption that one section of the wheel is centered and set your indicators to this point, after which, working around the wheel. Of course, the point you chose might be the wrong one, and you may find yourself de-centering the wheel as a result. if you're building a wheel, you have no starting point. Good luck with that.For the time being, I'll work directly off my bike on a work stand, using either the brake calipers or the zip tie method and will eventually pick up a "proper" truing stand.[Edit] Here's a possible solution for those who are inclined to get their drill out and source some parts from the hardware store:1. Bore bolt holes at the bottom of the two vertical struts - just above the base plate. The hole diameter will accommodate some threaded rod.2. Source some threaded rod - about 2” wider than your maximum hub width (130mm, etc).3. Use two nuts at each side of the rod, and set their spacing to match the axle width of the wheel you’re truing (i.e. 130mm)4. Slip the rod between these two post holes and set the post spacing using the documented method, using the nut pairs as a “stop”.5. Fit one nut on the outside of each post to lock the assembly in place.The combination of the hub/axle at the top and the lower rod now fixes the distance so the two struts are dependably and repeatedly parallel to each other.There's still a bit of measuring involved to finding the center point (and setting the indicators), but at least you know you’re working from a dependable reference point.A further enhancement ...Drill a second set of holes for another threaded rod, and position the holes just below where the two indicators are. You can then use nuts to measure the stopping point for the shoulder of the reference indicators.This is a lot of work, but these few parts would make this a much more dependable tool. If they only had a kit for thru-axle bikes.

This is a no frills truing stand that does exactly what it is designed to do, true a bike wheel. The local bike shops in my area charge from $25-35 per wheel for truing, so it has already paid for itself. Works well on 26" and 700c wheels, both front and rear. I have used it on axles having OLDs between 100-135mm. I've also used it to lace a few motorized hubs for ebike conversions. The steel and hardware used is tough enough to withstand regular use and readjustments for different wheel sizes. I've spent significant time working on several wheels while using it and have gotten exactly what I need from it, a true wheel.

Gets the job done for light use. Mine did come missing two bolts, but no biggie. Doesn't seem to have a front or back. I like the spring loaded feelers.

This thing is fantastic for $50 shipped. Sturdy, straight, and pretty good quality. Is it park tools? Probably not I don’t really know but for $50 this is def $ well spent
