You're right DropBar, I stand corrected. Fenders and racks would also make for a pretty awkward truing stand. A stand also has adjustability for varying axle widths thus would be a big help for the amateur. As Tourist in MSN also points out, a disc brake frame may be less than ideal as a stand.

I'm just cheap and have gotten along without one for 50 years! On tour one may have to improvise. I recall an ACA tour when I re-built a rider's wheel using his bike for a stand hanging by ropes from a tree in a campground.
