hi,

has anyone any experience of using this truing stand?

or the park tool TS8?

I use a TS8. I've built a few wheels with it. It does the job and the fact that you don't need a dishing tool is a bonus.

You don't need a dishing tool with any stand, just turn the wheel round in the jig.

You can cut a simple dishing tool out of stiff cardboard.

TS8 for me too. Does what it says on the tin.

Is it a a solid, firm construction? I've got a cheapo I bought years ago but it's a bit too flexy and a pain to use.
