The Park Prof. has its faults and have experienced like those mentioned above. But I'm learning and always listening to the experts on wheel building, dealing with idiosyncrasies. Regardless the Park is a robust and quality made truing stand.

One issue I've been dealt with this last year are 29er high tension factory built wheels with through axles. I'm considering the single side arm from Feedback Sports.

I've turned (pun) away two riding buds in repairing their wheels. Both are aggressive, big fellows and don't ride lightly, breaking bikes and wheels is normal. Anyways, replacing a single spoke for lower spoke count high tension type are kind of like playing with fire. Hehe
