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!!
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 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 RU-vid 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 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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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'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
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 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.
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 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 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!
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 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!!
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.
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 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!!!
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 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.
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!
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.
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!😁😁
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'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.
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
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.
Getting a new work bench next week would really appreciate a wh1 as I fix my bike which I break a lot and family’s bike when there’s break too so it would be a great tool to have for me
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
If I had the WH-1 I would use it for basically anything to do with my wheels, and of course let my friends and family use it as well as it’s a great addition to any workshop or shed!
I'm going to lace up a wheelset for myself. however i work in a bike shop and i will be sharing it with my colleagues. and help my customers with perfect wheels and bearings
Great tool...it is always a problem finding the right place and method to work on wheels and the WH-1 solves every issue! I'd be a wheel fixin, tire changin fool looking for even more ways to use this wonderful 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 👍🔧🚲
