Want to feel old? The Park Tool TS-2 is now 50 years old. To celebrate, Park Tool is releasing 50 special-edition versions of its TS-2 truing stand to mark the tool\u2019s anniversary. Originally introduced in 1976 and designed by Park Tool founders Howard Hawkins and Art Engstrom alongside employee Jim Johnson, the TS-2 has been a fixture in bike shops and home workshops for half a century. The current production model, the TS-2.3, handles wheels up to 32\u2033 and hub widths up to 200mm, with thru-axle adapters included for compatibility with modern bikes \u2013 even those yet to be released.<\/p>\n
