I've never used the Unior stand but I have liked all their tools I have tried so far. I do really like my Park TS 2.2 though. As far as accessories go, the main ones you need are spoke wrenches, dishing tools, tension meter. Those are the necessities but it never hurts to grab more if you can swing it.
@@ZashaBoonen True but it lasts for decades so if you can swing it, it is a good long term investment. If that's too much to start out with there is definitely nothing wrong starting with cheaper and eventually upgrading.
Neither is terribly difficult but both are tedious and both take about the same amount of time so I will call it a wash. If I didn't have a spoke cutter my opinion would definitely change though!
I am actually pretty horrible at math but have access to a spoke cutter so I would just measure each spoke length with a ruler and cut them to length one by one. I am sure someone decent at math could figure it out a bit more precisely than my method though.
Building wheels seems cathartic
It really is!
Is unior a good wheel truing stand (which one to choose also the cyclus or pro version?) and if so which accessoires should you buy with it??

Which is worse? This or building with Berd spokes?

Care to share your maths? What measurements did you end up using?
