I love this stand! I am not a professional bike mechanic but I have four decades of home bike repair behind me, and last year I took a bike mechanics course at Barnett's. I have used the truing stand from Park Tools and I realize that every bike shop has the Park Tools Stand on their workbench, and I hate to go against the opinions of more experienced mechanics, BUT if I were to receive the Park's stand for free, I think I would still gravitate to this one from Feedback Sports. Here's why: 1. You really only need one point of contact to true a wheel. 2. The adjustment on the rub indicator is finer than the one from Park - it's less jumpy when you are trying to nudge that tip to the rim for minimal contact. I think this is because the rub indicator is right on the end of the screw, not at the end of a caliper which is attached to a screw. 3. I can set the stand up anywhere. I can put it on the workbench, I can put it on the floor in front of the fireplace like I did last night, Heck I can set it out on the lawn and use it there if I felt like it. The base is heavy enough and stable enough that it does not need to be clamped to anything. It is well made. 4. I used the stand for lateral and radial truing right out of the box. I also used it for dishing easily enough, but I really think a dishing tool is best for that. (I'm not sure that the Park stand claims to be a good choice for dishing either.) 5. I got this on sale, but even full-price would be a bargain, but like I said, even if you gave me the "professional" stand for free, I think I'd still rather use this one.
