Belongs with the TS-2

On: 2010-01-31

This base was designed to be used with the TS-2 and should be included as a standard feature of the truing stand, not as a $30+ option. Until I added the base the stand seemed incomplete and awkward. Together they mesh into a nicely functioning tool.
Some users wouldnt need the base but its simple enough to remove, I expect most would use it if it was integral with the stand.
Offering the TSB-2 as a separate option strikes me as a bit of a money grab on the part of Park Tools.
It does work wonderfully though, with the tilt feature and slots and trays for spoke tools, etc.

Well worth it if you have the TS-2 stand

If you dont plan on mounting the TS-2 stand to either your own base, or your workbench, you should get this plastic stand. Without it the Park Tool TS-2 Professional Wheel Truing Stand flops around with a wheel in it and will not be easy to work with.

I suppose it should just come with the TS-2 stand but, Park sells a lot of shop tools to, gasp! actual bicycle shops and they tend to mount their truing stands to a workbench and wouldnt need this. As a home bike repair person you should buy it.
