Yeah, you just mount the shaft on the top, 45 degree, or the side mounting location and the wheel just slides over the shaft. It pulls off easily when you need to take the wheel off or flip it over. So, no it's not secured on the outside, but we've used it a lot with no issues of the wheel coming off when we didn't want it to.
I have a Park FR-5.2H cassette lockring tool that fits over most skewer nuts. I've been just sticking the quick release lever side of the skewer through the WH-1 and tightening it up by hand from there. So far that's worked well for quick release wheels. I'll probably try to come up with a dummy skewer of some sort pretty soon that sets up quicker. Thanks for the question, I appreciate it!
My main gripe with that thing is the added holder for the extra parts. I will get this at one point, but I will definitely just cut off the rear section of this unit, and keep the spare parts somewhere else because the whole unit takes up enough real estate as it is. Why couldn't they just make a holder thingy inside it instead which looks more than wide enough for these parts, and they will not be in the way of anything really. I don't really see any reason of getting something like this to tie it down in a vice every single time, so at least in my eyes the rear end of this unit is just redundant, especially since they also got the smaller version which would make a whole lot more sense to use in a vice if that's your thing. Anyhow, just a little rant there.
I made my own i use it most days a great tool, cost me nothing just a a couple of feet of metal lying around under my workbench. i clamp it to my hydraulic bench on wheels and move it anywhere in the workshop
@@JoeyMesa If you lived near me I'd say hey mate could make 1 for me 2. I think you should start building these to sell. I like it because it's simple but robust a lot better then many I've seen for sale online
Like the product, but come on, $117 for this? This thing can’t possibly cost more than $10-15 to mass produce per unit given the materials and labor costs it would take to make on a volume basis. I also agree with the poster, who said first thing he’d do if he bought one of these is cut the back part off. Same here! All it does is take up space, and the rods are easily stored elsewhere out of the way of the bench surface. I could have a piece of spare steel cut, bent, and welded to mimic the entire front part of the unit in under 1/2 hour without the assistance of any mass production cutters or welders. I see no reason why this thing is selling for over $100, but then again prices of everything in the bicycle industry have gone bat shit crazy in recent years. This reminds me of the Park BB press that also sells for an obscene price given that it can be fabricated at home by anyone with a hint of mechanical ability in a few minutes with parts easily available at any hardware store for about $10. 😆

In the shop, time is money. So anything that helps get it done quickly and easily is a win.
Yep. I see 2 or 3 more of these getting installed real soon!
Very good review. Will be purchasing my own for my shop!
Looks like a very good wheel working set up.
when wheel (12 or 15 or 20 hub) is put on holder - it'doesn't secured from outside? I mean if you pull it it will easy pop up from that bit/axle?

@@JoeyMesa 1:51 that's a lot of movement.. It doesn't have enough stability?..
Have you found a good way to remove a cassette using the wh-1 on a wheel with a quick release skewer?

Park makes a WH-2 that's smaller and only has the horizontal and vertical positions.

Nice! Having the ability to be easily moved around yet sturdy would be an awesome feature! Thanks for your feedback!
It is a bit like that isnt it
What about wheels that are not quick release but standard nut and bolt ones
A wheel with a solid bolt on axle actually works better than a quick release wheel on this wheel holder.

I guess too much money
