Date Reviewed: August 30, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | Saratoga Gap | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | don't remember, but it was on sale | | Strengths: | Very portable - packs compactly. Small footprint. Places bike at a convenient height for drivetrain work. | | Weaknesses: | Somewhat awkward to mount bike on stand - you really need 3 hands. Truing stand is too flexible, awkward to use with tires mounted. Stand is tippy if bike is mounted without front tire on truing stand. | | Bottom Line: | I've had this thing for a few years. It remains my only truing stand. The fact that it packs into itself is important in my crowded garage. If you're doing a lot of wheel truing, I'd suggest something a little more solid. But overall for general purpose bike maintenance, this unit is a great value. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | Stove and Cycle | | Strengths: | Lightweight, mobile - legs unscrew and it fits in a folding camping chair bag. Love the trueing stand. Adjustable to fit any bike. | | Weaknesses: | Easily knocked over, Set screws can fall off and get lost if you don't remember to keep them tight. | | Bottom Line: | I have a hobby bikeshop in my garage and service around 100 bikes a year. I use this as a mobile unit whenever the opportunity arrises and it serves as my only truing stand. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
