Compact Home Mechanic Wheel Truing Stand

Product Description: Park Tool TS-8 Home Mechanic Bicycle Wheel Truing Stand

The Park Tool TS-8 Home Mechanic Bicycle Wheel Truing Stand is designed specifically for home mechanics seeking precise wheel truing at an affordable price point. It accommodates a wide range of bicycle wheels, from 16 inches to 29 inches in diameter, whether they have tires mounted or not. Its standout feature is the innovative sliding dropout, which facilitates swift installation of wheels with hub widths up to 170mm.
