The top of the line Park Tool wheel truing stand was updated at Frost Bike 2017, but now it gets a rolling update with a few minor mods to make it easier to use and more capable. The TS 4.2 switches to a welded base to keep it centered, and it’ll now fit all known tires, no matter how big.
The width adjustment dial on the side switches to a speed knob with a handle, saving time when going between extremes (like, say, a road bike wheel to a fat bike wheel).
A bolt nub was added to the cone inside the arms to make it easier to get the wheel into place by creating a small perch to rest the hub’s axle hole on while closing the arms in. Retail is $426.95.
The new HBT1 (Hose Barb Tool) cuts hydraulic hoses only (not meant for cable housing!), then presses the barb in. Retail is $105.95.
Chain whips and tools are updated for 12 speed chains, and the breaker is updated to fit the larger rollers on new SRAM AXS chains.
New 3/8” ratchet and breaker bar to fit all their modern bits.
Not shown, there are new DUB drifts for the BBP1.2 bottom bracket press tool.
