I'm planning on getting a wheel Truing stand. Which one's it worth spending my money on?

Merlin have got some cracking prices on the Park ones according to last nights newsletter.

the cheaper one is fine for occasional use, imo.

I went for the minoura one - really happy with it. Think I got it either from rose-bikes.co.uk or bike24.de as it was a good bit cheaper.

MAKE YOUR OWN, BUY THE BOOK BY rOGER mUSSON (WHEELPRO i THINK) AND OPPS SORRY make it out of a bit of mdf. MUCH better than the flimsy commecial ones and much cheaper. I have a minoura one but it's too flimsy and not very nice to use.

I got a fold down cheapo from rose-bikes. Its made of steel and doesn't look flash in any way, but it does the job for occasional truing and the odd bit of building.

I have this one;

made entirely of cast iron so doesn't fit the 'flimsy' mould.

Onl pain is that you can't use the arm bit with tyres on the rims so a quick true and tubeless tyres is a pain.

I have the feedback one which I use for trueing - but when I was looking several people rated it highly for building as it is pretty solid compared to the other budget options.
