Anyone got any experience with the cheap n nasty truing stands off ebay? (e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-Wheel-Truing-Stand-Maintenance-Cycling-Parts-Repairing-Tool-Folding-Pro/333868407580?). About to press go on a first-time wheelbuilding project but the cost of a new stand is making me hesitate, and I don't really have the materials to go down the home-made route. Would prefer a decent second hand one but there's bugger all to be found on ebay!
I use a POS £12 one. Not like that though. It's fine.
All it has to do is hold a wheel securely in a convenient place for you to work on it.
