If you prize the time you spend working on your bike as much as riding (and especially if you love building wheels), you’ll want to start saving your pennies right now. The German-made P&K Lie Special250 truing stand is far and away the most lustworthy piece of workshop kit we’ve ever seen – and there’s a good chance it cost more than your last bike.
The appeal of the P&K Lie Special250 goes far beyond its industrial-looking aluminium frame, although even that’s worth a special mention for its precise CNC-machined construction, monolithic solidity, and gorgeous green anodized finish. Meanwhile, the axle clamps, dial indicator and hub slides, and locking knobs are all machined from solid brass.

Seriously, have you ever seen a wheel truing stand this beautiful? No, no you have not
Even if you’re not a seasoned wheel builder, it’s easy to see the beauty here. But if you are, it’s the Special250’s incredible gauges that really highlight its capabilities.
Dial indicators are nothing new when it comes to truing stands as they provide an easier, faster, and more precise way to see exactly how far a wheel is out of round or true. The ones P&K Lie use on the Special250, however, feature a non-linear motion that magnifies even the tiniest deviations.
