"It’s not only the compact nature of the Super B that makes it appealing to the home mechanic. With a retail price of R799, the Super B TB-PF25 is considerably cheaper than other truing stand options."

Bargain at that price... too bad that in my case it is a lack of skill and not tools that stops me from doing the job myself!

Their shop models also look good value for money.  I like their dishing tool as well - the Parktool WAG 4 that I have has been a big disappointment!

bah. The lack of acceptance for TA wheels rules it out for me.

Distributed by Dragons Sports who also do Giant & Mavic so your LBS should be able to get it. If not dealers listed HERE.

Hi Dave.

Do you know the RRP of the PF35 ? (the Pro model without the dials)

Sorry I don't but I did check out a while back and they were less than the Parktool equivalent.  Any shop should be able to get you a price from Dragons.
