Park tool TS2.2 as good as anything else out there for the price? Looks like a sturdy piece of kit.
Anyone know where the cheapest place to get them is? I have seen one for £180 (the raw one, not blue). Any advances on that?
Also, what's the best attachment for using 15mm front and 142x12 rear axles?
They're excellent pieces of kit.

Well that's less than the trade price from Madison so doubt there will be many shops trying to beat that.
Was looking at this the other day. My home made one will only work without tyres on but given how tension drops/varies with a tubeless ready tyre on, I'm tempted. Can you let me know where you've seen them at that price?
They are really good. Its worth getting this bit of kit for it too;

For less than half the price you can get one of these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/x-tools-pro-mechanic-wheel-truing-stand/rp-prod122322?gs=1&gclid=CjwKEAiAjfq2BRDpmdHmssaW5xsSJABToP4lS-iiyLSLD8fhNIS8QZeNIsC6GivBUBqxnSELklxBqhoCy3rw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Maybe not quite as good as the park one but not far off it. Solid bit of kit IMHO
The 'raw' finish that you mention is actually chrome plated and should be more than the blue one.
They are very good by the way.
They are very good (and very heavy) bits of kit. Don't bother with the flash looking guage but do get the dish/centering tool. If moved about a lot they can go out of alignment (and you don't normally notice till after the fact).I habitually only true/dish of one side anyhoo 😕
Hibike onzadog. You can get the stand, TSB-2 tilting base, TS-2TA end plugs (for axle wheels) for 290 euro (£225).
Would have preferred to spend the money in the UK, but hey ho.
As curvature says, Park came out with the blue one as a way of hitting a lower price point than the silver chromed one; they are otherwise identical.
Some on this forum have and say good things about the [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TOJWWT/jobsworth-wheel-truing-workshop-stand ]On-One Knockoff version[/url] but I've never seen one myself.
I'm far too much of a tart to own an on-one tool.
^ Me too! 😳
I was lucky and got my Park stand for 1/2 of the online price from craigslist a couple years ago.
DO NOT LOOK ON CRAIGSLIST AT WORK!!!!!!
