although the prices are low, remember you get what you pay for, wheel truing stands you are probably ok with, but i have done ebay buisness with these guys before on my moto-x bike and the parts were very "chinese" the brake lever pivots wore out within a couple months of riding. Not trying to knock these guys just saying be leary of what you pay low money for.

pitposse ripped me in Canada ... great for USA ... but I can tell you ... your shipping charges will be X3 to Canada .... and not mentioned in their TOS ... unless they changed it recently. Not knocking their products ... just Canada beware. They are an online Yahoo company and don't expect any help from them besides form letters.

I was just showing the guys here that there is a stand that is suitable for the average guys garage. affordable. Comercial stands start around 400 and go up as high as 2600 . A wheel trueing stand does not have to be expensive for the guy who only uses it occasionly. Like I said in another forum ive done wheels on the bike. but if your looking for a cheap stand then this will probably fill the bill.
