(sorry for bringing up an old post but pretty much anyone searching for which workstand on google or on lfgss this comes up first)
With regards to this one
Or others like it, it's fine for pretty much most things except gear indexing.
Because the gear cables run under the downtube they're sandwhiched between the tubing and the stand, and I didn't notice my first time round using it and scraped my frame with the bare cable rubbing up and down when shifting through the gears.
The front bits arent for wheel truing it's for keeping the handlebars from swinging round and whacking yer cranium.
