reason to buy another truing stand. -

wheels all day long and need a very high end truing stand.
That self centering BS is just that -- B.S. If you are
trying to save money, buy the dishing tool and use a fork to
build a truing stand. If you really are saving your pennies,
you could probably build a decent dishing tool out of wood.
Otherwise, get the Park one.Dave

The best truing stand IMO is the Tacx, not the current one
that bolts to a work bench but the free standing one that
had a u-shaped caliper. You can true a 26" wheel with tire
installed on that one and the two sized of the caliper move
as one when you turn the knob.

Thanks. Someone in mtbr.com, for what it's worth, didn't
like the plastic parts that came with the sturdy frame. No
problems with this?--

tinyurl.com24n3pOpen ↗All of the TS-7 models come w/ the dishing tool. Just get
the least expensive one you can find. I own a TS-7 that I
have not used in three years. It is a good, strong unit, but
it is heavy and does not travel well. The plastic parts are
fine. You can get the dish pretty close by just flipping the
wheel. I still use an old Minoura stand that folds into a
very thin and portable unit. It is a real piece of lop-sided
[censored] only worthy of the trash bin but it has a decent
dishing tool so I continue to hang on to
it.If you need to pack and travel w/your truing stand then the
TS-7 is not good. Otherwise, it is a nice unit. Slow to
use..., but nice.A good traveling setup would be the cheapy Minoura stand and
this dishing tool: tinyurl.com2qyswOpen ↗ That's the same
one that comes w/the TS-7. Park has a nicer one that is
faster to use. For the home mech. it is overkill, tho.Most of this is just my opinion, of course. Your
mileage may vary.Dave
