Mike Schwartz Date Reviewed: October 27, 2012 Strengths: It is a Park tool, so the general quality is good. I have had mine for many years now. Weaknesses: The sliding gauge/guide is the deal breaker. It is pretty much impossible to position the gauge/guide for fine adjustments. I am looking for a method or product to retrofit the stand with a threaded gide that will allow small movements in the gide. Bottom Line:

from ny Date Reviewed: August 20, 2001 Strengths: Beefy base and arms Included dishing unit is super beefy for the job it does. Weaknesses: wimpy, weak bolts used for assembly, I broke one of the included 1/4" carriage bolts with only about 2 lbs/ft of torque. The adjustment of the truing gauge is difficult and jerky. Takes a long time to true a wheel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $60.00 Bike Setup: true 26 and 700c wheels

from Mountain View, CA Date Reviewed: August 8, 1999 Strengths: Comes with dishing gauge Weaknesses: Truing gauge is only on one side. Also, the truing gauge must be manually moved in and out, which is significantly harder to control than if it was mounted on a screw. The truing stand has to be assembled and for all its weight, it will not stand on its own (i.e., has to mounted to something). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Performance Spin Doctor truing stand Bike Setup: True mountain bike wheels

from Mountain View, CA Date Reviewed: July 13, 1999 Strengths: Very solid and inexpensive. Weaknesses: Although there is a rim gauge on only one side, I didn't find that to be too much of a problem. However, I agree with the post below that they should have mounted it so that a screw moves it back and forth. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: less than 1 month Similar Products Used: None. Bike Setup: I built up a rear wheel with a new Mavic mtb rim.
