TS-25 Repair Mounted Wheel Truing Stand

My first time truing a 29er wheel was using this kit with the PCS-10 bike stand. I've never used a professional truing stand before so I cannot compare the two, but I found this to be very simple to use. I recommend not mounting your bike on the repair stand while using this kit. the head of the PCS-10 can rotate. by setting it 90 degree from the tilt of the stand, you can align the wheel vertically which makes viewing the reference indicator much easier. In all, it's a simple device but works great. I liked that it takes up little space since I already have the stand. Also, the quality of the frame was very sturdy; my wheel was rock solid mounted to the stand and the indicator was top notch. In all, I give it four stars because, though I am happy with the product, I am sure the time spent truing a wheel with a professional stand probably goes much quicker. Also, I found that I had to sit rather low to view the indicator without parallax error which is worth considering. Last thing worth mentioning is this only indicates from one side which wasn't a problem for me and flip-flopping showed a decent alignment.
