- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2021Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseFar cheaper than the pro stands, I was sceptical whether this would do the job but actually, it's excellent! It is robust, easy to use and packs away flat. The reference guides are solid and centred plus everything is easy to adjust and lock down when you need it to. Very impressed with the build quality at this price point and I'd thoroughly recommend the product for home wheel building.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2022Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI’ve now used this to build up 3 pairs of wheels. It’s pretty good. You can get it very close before it needs checking with a dishing tool and then finish off by pulling one of the arms out of the way.
My only concern is that it’s a little bit wobbly so when spinning the wheel, you need to be gentle with it, or holding the hub to spin it work quite well.
I think you’d need to spend a lot more to get a more solid stand, but at the end of the day, the wheels wouldn’t be any truer.
Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2019Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI have used this stand to build and true wheels without issue. It's solidly constructed and fit for purpose. Some would argue that it's not as good as the professional item but then again it's price point is substantially less then these items. The main thing is whether it is possible to do what it is designed to do. The wheels on my bike are testament to this fact. Therefore it's fit for purpose. Also It folds flat, which is very useful for storage. All in all I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend same.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2018Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseObviously, there is are some compromises due to cost. Some parts are plastic and that may shorten its life span. I’ve been able to set it up (centre it) easily with the help of Vernier callipers. This is not needed if you just need to true a wheel but it is essential if you are going to "dish" a wheel.
The truing arms (the bit that touches the rim) can be set as metal or plastic. The plastic option (default) is for carbon rims – so the instructions say.
The instructions are great with no obvious translation issues. These come with the stand but can also be download from the minoura site.
Thru axles need an adapter but no issues with 9mm QRs. The legs that hold the wheel open in sync, helping to keep the centre point, and can be extended to over 200mm. The callipers open to 60mm.
The base is heavy enough and there is a metal leg that can be screwed (or in my case) clamped to a bench for extra stability.
Highly recommended at the discounted amazon price.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2017Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseGood piece of kit does a good job and is fairly robust for the one mechanic
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2018Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseHi, i purchased the product and have done 3 wheelset with it and since I have no problems concerning the product. I would say for this money, well done.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2018Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseAnnoyingly the red jaws you can see in the picture aren't precisely lined up and are off-centre. So you can't eye things up properly and have to use one side at a time. It would have been quite straightforward to build in a little user adjustment if they knew the manufacturing tolerances weren't up to scratch.
The little swing arm at the front allows you to screw it onto a surface. It would be better if they added other screw points as I found it didn't stop it moving around.
Overall it's a very easy to use piece of kit and is plenty adequate for building wheels.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2024Style Name: SingleI didn't use this a lot and then the plastic gauge arm clip snapped, meaning one of the arms can not be held in place. Considering the price it's pretty poor and I would not recommend buying it. I could not find any spares to replace the broken part.The media could not be loaded.

Lalo RivasReviewed in Mexico on 16 October 20195.0 out of 5 stars Excelente!
Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseNo hay mejor solución que hacerlo uno mismo, en lo personal me gusta darle el mantenimiento y solución a mi bicicleta, este aparato es para uso doméstico pero bastante preciso al igual que uno profesional, la única diferencia es que los materiales de un profesional son más pesados y rígidos para el uso que se le dará. Yo lo uso una ves cada 15 días y me da el servicio que busco, y como extra el precio aquí es menos de la mitad que en otros sitios. De diez!
Ryan BremnerReviewed in Canada on 14 December 20185.0 out of 5 stars Works well. Great price.
Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseUnit is solid, well built and easy to use. Very happy with it for the price. All adjustment points are firm and easy to make small changes. Holds the wheel well. Trued front and rear wheels on 29" and 27.5" mountain bikes down to ~1mm without too much effort.
