TS-8 requires assembly. When I first tried to assemble, the square shanks on the heads of the carriage carriage bolts would not pull into the blue uprights. As a result I broke the head of one of the bolts. A short e-mail to Park Tools and I had the replacement bolts in a few days. Park Tools gives great support of a great product.
Worth the price!       rating

This is a great truing stand. My last truing stand was freestanding, but the ability to bolt this to your workbench allows you to install a sewup and straighten the tire on the wheel easily and quickly. It adjusts easily to various wheel sizes. My experience with Park Tools has been universally positive and this is another great addition to my bike repair bench.

Park's TS-8 truing stand is well worth the cost. Comparable stands from other manufacturers have a tendency to be a bit on the flimsy side, while this affordable stand makes achieving a 'trued' wheel relatively frustration free. It is designed more as a horizontal truing tool, yet with some patience and attention, one can work the kinks out of a vertically untrue wheel as well. And for those that are wondering, it is mountable without modification (two mounting holes on the base allow for a sturdy mount). Another great product from Park Tool.
