Just got into MTB last year, I’m really enjoying the sport, and one of the things I love the most is doing my own maintenance, which I could never have done it without your inspirational video’s, thank you guys. I’ve purchase at least half your tools so far, and the WH-1 would be a great addition. I’ve purchased bikes for everyone at home, so I have quite a bit of maintenance every couple of months on the wheels. So I’ll use this tool for tire replacements, sealant maintenance, and for assisting with dishing and truing my wheels when I purchase the Park Tool Professional Wheel Alignment Guage, and Professional Truing Stand. I’m also going need that coffee mug, super cool socks, of course the hat, and you forgot the beer cap opener. Thanks again Calvin and Truman for all the great video’s!
I’m 16 year old working at a bike shop slowly getting tools 🛠 to work on my own bikes the wh1 could really help me as a home mechanic, because as you working at a bike shop you realize how many tools you’re missing at home and trying some hacks with current tools the wh1 could really make my life a lot more easier. Thank you park tool for the opportunity!!
Gentlemen you have just shown me the best ever multi tool for wheels in the world. Thank you.
I plan on opening a bicycle repair shop when I retire from teaching In May 2020
This tool would be a fantastic asset to my bench.
I started teaching myself repairs by using your TH-cam videos as well as studying your shop manuals
My latest success was delivering 15 refurbished bicycles to the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie
I would end up bringing the WH-1 into the service department at work. Sharing what I've learned from this video to my co workers. It seems like it can be a time saver, all while keeping the work area cleaner with less tubeless sealant on the shop floor. Less working down low, off of the ground for tire changes as well. Rad! The wheel lacing idea is great. Would definitely put that to use in our service department.
I am 13 and about 5 months new to the biking topic, and love it! I am also in need of tools. I would use this awesome tool to change flats, make sure my wheel is straight, and maybe even learning how to tru a wheel with it. This tool will make my life much easier, I do not own a bike repair stand so changing flats are more difficult. Lastly, I thank you parktool for the great tools and educational content I have learned so much in the course of 5 months.
I would absolutely find this tool invaluable in my home shop! Lacing wheels, cleaning my cassette, working on my hubs, installing tape and tires, you name it! Most importantly, Id be able to wow my riding buddies with just how cool and practical this Park tool is! Calvin and Truman, you guys kill it everytime!
I work overseas and have limited access to good bike shops, so I have to do it all myself. I am also the community bike shop wherever I am stationed. So if I had a WH-1 I would put it to use servicing all of my bikes and the bikes of my riding partners wherever I go. Spreading joy and the good name of Park Tool.
I'd use the Park Tool WH-1 to do it ALL. I love doing all my own maintenance but you need the right Park Tool for the job.
Just bought 1 ! and the magnetic bowl and the up set , 6.2 torque wrench ! Love PARK TOOLS !
Really enjoy using the WH-1. Another great Park tool that makes working on wheels much easier. One of those tools that you don’t think you really need until you buy it and use it a few times. I hesitated to purchase it due to the relatively high cost for what it is, but when I began using it the rugged build quality became very evident. Worth every penny. My only gripe is the spacer design. I have large fat hands with a lot of miles on them and I swear I drop that little metal spacer on the floor 5 or 6 times before I finally manage to insert it. But I am not sure how you would redesign it for clumsy fingered people like me. Also when I am using the support rod in the horizontal position to apply tape to a tubeless rim I have to be careful not to pull the rim sideways off the support rod. It would be nice if the rod was longer perhaps, so it would extend all the way through the hub, and had a threaded end to which one could attach a wing nut or something to better secure the wheel to prevent it from sliding off the rod. . Obviously not a problem with the rod in the 45 or 90 degree position. Just minor first world annoyances as my better half would say. All in all a great tool.
I would use it to true my wheels! you should make a truing accessory for the WH-1, would be great for people with not so much resources. Great videos!!!
In addition to everything Calvin and Truman just showed this tool is perfect for all things wheels and I bet I could open my beer too.
I would use the WH-1 for tubeless tire instillation, cassette maintenance and wheel cleaning. I would weld a plate to an old BMX seat post so I could use the WH-1 with my PCS-10 repair stand. That way I could also use the WH-1 when needed while traveling. Love this tool, best new tool I've seen in a while.
WH-1 after one day in use: I never ever give it away! Very functional for almost every work on wheels. Cleaning, changing tires (tubeless or other), checking the wheel alignment ...). I just would suggest to have kind of a stop for the wheel not to come off the axle easely in the vertical position. Nevertheless I highly recommend this tool!
Nice demonstration👍 I just purchased one and I love it, it works great for everything you highlighted as well as polishing the rims, hubs and spokes, great addition to my workbench 👍🔧🚲
Party on Calvin, party on Truman!
As an amateur bike mechanic, I’ve been familiarizing myself more and more with all different aspects and types of mountain bikes, except when it comes to wheels. With this tool, I would continue to pursue my quest to learn how to build wheels in conjunction with my Park Tools TS-2.2 with TSB-2.2 and SW-#s, WAG-4, and TM-1. Thanks gents, and keep up the good work.
The endless list of uses, the WH-1 would definitely help me work on wheels at the home shop. I wouldnt have to balance the wheel between me and the bench any longer, Truman really showed how changing tire and sealant would help as well as Calvin showing the possibilities of wheel building all of these are on my to do list for a 27.5+ wheel build i have going on.
My son and I would use the WH-1 for maintaining the wheels on the 9 bikes we currently have. We would use the tool for spoke tension adjustment, changing tires, replacing rim tape, adding sealant, cleaning cassettes, etc. This seems to be one of the awesome Park Tools everyone needs in their bag!
I've got 4 kids and we each have 3 bikes (BMX race, BMX, and MTB) so needless to say I'm fiddling around with wheels a lot. I really like how Park Tool has allowed for every axle options with the wh-1, that would be super handy for my workbench! Love guys keep up the innovation
The WH-1 would make my Life as a bicycle Mechanic so much easier! At my Work WE have a lot of Tubes to Change from our costumers ! This would be the Perfect tool for our Workshop! And like you Show in the Video, Change rimtapes, dishing, removing glue from tubular Tires and glue some new on ! This would be AWESOME !
I would literally do all the things you demonstrated in this video. Love the simplicity and versatility of this new tool!
I would use the WH-1 as an excuse to get a new workbench and vice
Edit: wow thanks for all the likes this is the most I have ever had
I would use the WH-1 to continue learning how to work on bikes. I got a thrift store bike that I rode the hell out of and now it needs a lot of work. This bike and Park Tool videos are my classroom and textbook.
I would use this in my shop to relieve stress from my lower back. It basically puts every wheel repair or build at the ideal height. Great thinking guys.
AMEN, brother man! at present i use a black & decker folding work bench that is
too low.
All the park tool videos are great learned a lot with Calvin teaching me how to work on bikes Tuesday is the best
I almost expected an appearance by the Mirthmobile! I wish we had the WH-1 when I worked in a repair shop. I worked on thru axle hubs by skewering them on a 3/8" extension clamped into an AV-5 in the bench vise. I would use the WH-1 for all of the applications featured in this video, and I'd probably discover a few new uses along the way. I think it would be particularly useful for taping rims, adjusting hubs, and mounting tubeless tires. Very cool tool!
I would mount the WH-1 to my coffee table so I could mount tires in front of the TV, with the bonus of keeping my dirty wheels off the clean carpet. I'm sure my wife would be stoked if I won!
SNORT! priceless!
almost as good as a guy i knew who was a golfer. he drilled holes in his WIFE'S coffee table to show off golf balls from courses around the world.
it was NOT a cheap table. she made him buy her a far more expensive one.
plus he had to sleep on the couch for a fair length of time.
With WH-1 I could lace the planet Earth! Thank you for all the fantastic videos, I’ve learned a lot with you!
Tensioning, balancing, dishing, spot checking true, swapping tubes/tires/rotors/cassettes/spokes/bearings, and refining the design of my perpetual motion machine. Love this tool. If I don't win one, it will certainly be my next shop purchase. The biggest hassle of working on wheels is that they are NEVER in a comfortable position.
More accuracy, More speed, Makes working on wheels an enjoyable experience, another third hand must have Park Tool for the workshop !!
I would use the WH-1 to do everything shown in the video plus make it look like I know what I'm doing! Mostly, right now I am using my lap and part of my desk to do those things. It will also make a good excuse to clean off my workbench so I have a place to install it. Good video and a great way to show products to make the pro shops run smoother!
I would use the WH-1 as a fun practical and another versatile tool to add to my already awesome collection of Park Tools. and to allow me to carry out repairs and maintenance on my bike, KNOWING that these tools will-never let me down!
I'm completely rebuilding my 16 year old steel framed touring bicycle that has 20K+ miles on it. Complete tear-down and fix up that started when a spoke pulled a hole in the rim---that's when I knew it was time. Haven't done any of the wheel work yet, the WH-1 would be a dream.
Hi my name is carter ,I would use the wh-1 on my new woodwork bench to do all the maintenance to be done on a wheel.thank you Truman and Calvin for the knowledge you’ve given to me.best of all to your future
New diy work bench in the works and sons tubeless setup right after that, that’s a perfect excuse for a new tool !!! Thanks for teaching us park tool
You're the best. I would use WH-1 to fix my bike and my friends bikes I inspired in you to keep going and fix my bike
That WH-1 would look SWEET mounted onto my bench and would be a great addition to my other Park tools. I can see where it would be very handy for all of those awkward, wheel-oriented tasks (changing tires, cassettes, etc.).
As always, thanks so much for sharing.
Steve
I'm not a bike mechanic, but I would want to donate the WH-1 to my local bike shop which is also proudly a user of Park Tool's... well, tools! Shoutout to Cycleism! Thanks Park Tool.
I will use WH one for all the wheel job need to be done! Lacing, trueing, cassete changing ... Wh one is the well tool to help me.
Great job u guys. Cheers from Poland.
I would attach it to my bike shop bench and work it silly with all the maintenance work Calvin and Truman have taught me!
I have always pinched the wheel between my waist and the workbench to do wheel work. I have a small bike workshop and I constantly have work to do on bikes (my bikes/friends bikes). The WH-1 would make a fantastic addition to my shop and most likely save a bunch of time while changing; cassettes, tires, spokes/nipples, rim tape, rotors, etc. I love tools ALMOST as much as bikes, WH-1 looks awesome.
Haha, I paused the video to make my earlier comment, didn't hear the rules! I built a set of enduro wheels last weekend and this would have been super handy to have. I think what I would use it for more commonly would be to clean cassettes without removing them from the wheel. It's a big part of my tune ups and such a pain! Thanks for the vid guys!
The WH-1 looks so versatile and useful👍🏻
Great job Park Tool! I repair my bike well because of You! ;)
The WH-1 would give me more 'me' time after working on my kids' and grandkids' bikes fixing wheel issues! Oh, yes, on my bikes as well! Wheelie and truly!
I would use the WH-1 as a personal assistant when installing cushcore so that I will be able to send it with a tubeless setup! Thank you park tool for all of the great content I have learned a lot from the Chanel.
I really need one Wh-1 for everyday work on wheels!!! Thank you Parktool!
I would use the WH-1 to be the kick start for my new cycle surgery business and begin living the dream like you guys at PT! Carry on the great work, yr videos are the best!!
This Tool will help as a 3rd hand on our shop tent during Races in our mobile shop, looks like we can get things done faster and not laying wheels around on the floor or bench during quick fix stuff.
Thanks for the video
I would take my WH-1 and travel to Saint Paul, MN to have it signed by Calvin Jones.
The WH1 seems like it is the perfect tool for most tire repairs. Would get a lot of use out of it. Thanks for another great design!
This WH-1 would be perfect in my man cave which I’m saving up to build. I love to ride Mtb and it’s great fun to overhaul and keep the bike in perfect condition. I’m also in restoring old vintage race bikes. So there is plenty of opportunity’s to use this! It’s probably that kind of tool that you don’t understand how you managed to cope without it before you had one... Keep up the good work! Best regards Mikael from Sweden
I would use it with my students at school, helping them as they learn to repair their bikes. Thanks for the videos.
It's a must have. Good job!!!!
I know I'm two years late and i don't think that I'm going to get one for free but i will tell you why i need one of those.
I'm a family father with one son and five bikes to repair two are from me (1 road bike and a touring), my son's also 2 bikes (1 mtb and one commute bike) and my wife's bike for commuting, shopping, also two bike trailer for shopping and travel, changing tyres, disc brakes and all other things belongs to my evening work almost every month and a tool like the WH-1 would be an amazing helf.
But like i already said on the beginning I'm 2 years to late.
I Love your channel Park Tool and i have learned alone from it. Thank you Park Tool.
Great tool! Have been wanting a wheel working area in our shop and will set one of these up. Will use for all things wheels including flat fixing! Excellent!
With the family's 12 bikes, I'm always working on a wheel! The WH-1 would come in very handy.
You guys are my hero.
In my spare time I have started fixing up old bikes for free and will donate them to the local community. I would use the WH-1 to save time and make working with any task on a wheel much quicker.
I would use while installing new disks for the kids’ bikes (luv the spin-the-wheel-approach), it would come in handy for installing a new cassette and seems to be a lot of help when I convert to tubeless! But most importantly it will give me a great reason to fix my workshop!! Thanks for a great show guys!!!
Just placed my order for a new 2019 Kona Sutra with 12mm through axles. I'd use the WH-1 to replace/clean rotors, replace tires or broken spokes, and general wheel cleaning. I already have a woodworking bench set up with a vise so this would fit in nicely in my limited shop space and store away when I'm not using it!
Wow please I love this tool. I would use it for building more wheels and can help me with putting sealant in my tyres without it messing on the floor. Please Calvin and Truman!😁😁
I am so ordering one when I get back to the shop. I build bikes at home and change tires at the bike shop all day long. the Park tool stool is my go-to for tire changes but now it may be the WH-1. My hips and pelvis may hate me after I bang into this thing a couple times a day. LOL
Oh man I need a WH-1. As the local neighborhood bike repair guy I’m constantly prepping friends and neighbors bikes. The WH-1 would be great for all the flats and tire replacements. It would go well with my PCS-10 that gets a lot of use! Any adapters for a paper towel holder on the WH-1? Can only have so many PTH-1’s ;)
If I win it can I bike across town and get a tour of your shop/factory? I want to play with a TS-4.2 and convince the wife to budget it into the garage fund.
I have 4 bikes in my garage for my family -- 3 of which are running primo wheelsets. This tool would ease my upkeep on these wheels, especially since I'm getting a little 'creaky', and doing the upkeep IN MY LAP is getting tough! It may even be a bit of a lifesaver with my upcoming e-bike build!
The WH-1 would be a great tool for me & my son to ease our wheel maintenance and even try wheel building(great idea addition by the way). It would even add a little Park Tool flare to the work bench.
I recently purchased a Husky 3-drawer tool cart to use for my bicycle repair/tune-up activities. I plan to attach a WH-1 on the left side and eventually a truing stand on the right. Upgrades include adding some peg boards and even an air compressor.
My garage is where all my friends and family get their bike repairs done, I would use the WH-1 to get the bikes back on the trail faster. I think I would also find a way to mount it to my bike rack to make field wheel and tire repairs easier too! Great product
What a nice help! I would use the WH-1 everyday in my workshop, because it's always exhausting to not scratch the rim on the floor, while putting on an new tire. And also to hold the wheel while putting in sealant.
Hey guys brilliant new tool. The WH-1 is a great extra pair of hands!
Park Tool® in-depth look at tool capabilities are the best videos, remember extended use of the DT-5.2. Anyway, I don’t plan on entering to win - I’ll buy it! Excellent upload
I would see myself using this tool pretty often in the shop! I would use it for securing the wheel while applying tubular glue! No more messes!!
Last time I switched the freewheel of a rear bike I wish I had four arms. This tool would let me do the work faster and comfortably.
Great channel, always used for reference and great detail in the explanation. Love the rim brakes and derailleur adjustment series.
As a Heart Patient,
I love working on Bicycles that is my new hobby. I would use it to fix used bikes that I donate to people in need. Some repairs are too much without a WH-1.
The Labor saved would make my work so much easier and time efficient.
Thanks for your Videos!
This tool will be a valuable addition to my parktool tools and a great help and ease in maintaining my and my friends bikes.
The WH-1 plus my multi angle vise would be amazing. It's such a well thought out tool.
I would use it to hold my wheels and do spin art on the non machine sidewall of the rims with neon day light bright colors that also reflect at night for safety and style.Want to see the results? It’s gonna be a winner, for sure,tubular, awesome. Keep riding friendly.
I would definitely use it to build wheels - Awesome looking tool - just like everything else Park Tool makes.
I will finally keep my garage floor and bench clean when adding sealant! This is much better than the way I normally do it.
love this tool, will definitely get one. will be great when applying glue and fitting tubulars
That looks pretty handy. It would make changing over to my winter tires and fixing leaks easier.
it's actually kind of a large multi-tool!
it doesn't slice, dice, chop, puree or say 'hey, good lookin'! we'll be back to pick you up later!'...
but it's close. and much better quality.
we're more than 2 years past that particular tech tuesday for winning one, but that's ok.
i have a pcs-10, several park tools (with an eye on more), and considering getting a wh-2
(the economy model of the wh-1).
life is good with park tools.
Tubeless setup would be a doddle with this bad boy! That's what I would use it for, and basically looking dapper in the workshop.
I opened a shop from home (Jimbo's bike repair) last year. This would be a great addition to my park tool set.
I would build a hub into a wheelset, put tire sealant on the tire, and pump it up. I will use it to assist me on my everyday wheel repairs. The WH-1 is something that I want to keep forevermore. "I'm a bike mechanix!" ;-)
If I win, I would use it to know my bike mechanism, repairs, maintenance while watching park tool videos, it would help a lot 😁
New House, new shop, new bench, new tool for my cargo, Gravelcross, Singlespeed, and Jones bikes! When you fetishize handbuilt wheels, a special wheel tool is part of the plan. I won't win, but I will buy this tool!
Excellent video using a single for so many jobs, brilliant. Someone really thought this through well done park tools and great that you and we are having fun while you are doing the work. Good to find out how the wheel lacing went!
that is an exciting product!!I would use it ALOT!!
I would use it ...
My sons and I would benefit greatly from this tool we go pretty hard up here in the hills around Yosemite. Win or not this tool will be in the garage sooner or later thanks for all the help weve dialed in brakes, rotors, shifters, derailers and such. all pretty much from you tutorials keep up the great work
I just got into fixing my bike and I would build my first wheel on my own. Thank you guys for all the great advice.
Brilliant idea, I could have used the wh-1 last summer. And i will need the wh-1 this summer for mountain bike or road bike wheel maintenance. Great idea,
I'm sure I'm gonna do pretty much everything on my wheels using the WH-1 (but only after watch all those your AMAZING videos telling me perfectly how to do it!)!!!!!! Aside from the giveaway (I don't know if I'm eligible, cause I'm in Canada - I'm gonna buy it anyway lol), men, your videos are fantastic. I'm pretty sure you've heard that all the time, but as an amateur bike mechanic I have to say my life changed when I've discovered the Park Tool Channel! Congrats and thank you A LOT!
Oh Canada! True WH-1 love means you just might win!
I love it. You could even improvise a truing stand with that thing, just by adding a point of reference somewhere on the bench. But I'd need to have it on my bench in order to make it up.... should be something adjustable, of course... hmm, I already have some ideas.... now I just need the WH-1 :)
I would use the WH-1 (clamped in a vice, Truman style) for nearly any and all service that involves the wheel, including servicing DT Swiss 240s face ratchets, servicing standard pawl free hubs, tubeless setup, tubeless refresh, cleaning and inspecting, and other things I haven't yet considered.
Definately would be an useful upgrade to the bench! No more searching for the bored out chunk of 2x4 to place on the floor to check wheel dish. Would like to use for the wheel rebuild with my son, seems like the elevation in a vise would make the process easier.
Keep up the good work. Enjoying the videos.
I would use the WH-1 to try that fun spinning rotor install and seriously in all my wheel repairs, hope i win because never ever won anything. Love ur channel, keep up the good work
I would use the WH-1 to adjust the loose ball bearings in my vintage cup and cone wheels! Also, the WH-1 would be helpful in holding my 29er wheels to install rotors. No more awkwardly laying wheels in my lap and dirtying clothes for basic wheel maintenance. Awesome tool!
