While the pretty bit is machined from a solid block of aluminum we weren't quite happy with the durability of that for the tool interface, so we added a hardened steel insert to handle the real work.

What's long been a bike shop staple isn't always the most glamorous tool in the shop, in fact it's usually a pretty basic device. But the work that comes off the truing stand is often the thing bike shop hero's are made from, the legendary perfectly built wheel. So what if we revisit the lowly truing stand, approach it like a piece of metrology equipment instead of something that does little more than hold a wheel? There's so many ways to 'hack' a truing stand, if you're going to make a proper tool why not go all out? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe set out to make a truing stand like no other, something that had a stable base as a foundation for precision and repeatability. We wanted the stand to reliably mirror on a centerline so it would always be in dish regardless of hub or rim width. We needed a good thru axle solution that didn't require adapters. In the disc brake era we wanted to be able to straighten rotors while the wheel was in the stand. We wanted a stand that was equally at home truing wheels for a general tune up as it was building wheels worthy of elite competition. We added the ability to run dial indicators for radial and lateral deviation and you can run one for the rotor if you'd like. Design is all about compromise and we spent nearly 6 years thinking and tinkering this one, the results do not disappoint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgus drive components for nearly maintence free operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear rails for smooth movement of the uprights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elateral indicators ride on sealed cartridge bearings for smooth operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eindicators operate on a push pull motion so they are always mirrored from centerline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe radial indicator can be positioned wherever you like or used for single sided lateral truing if desired. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with hub widths from 70 to 220 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLateral indicators are compatible with rim widths from 15 to 65 millimeters.

But what if we point that tech at the wheel? Ryan at Islandix Instruments came up with a great analytical approach to truing and tensioning wheels. We were a little skeptical that this would add meaningful value to the process but after testing it we came away impressed by how much smoother it made the process and how it saved time going from good enough to perfect. We've partnered with Islandix to offer their setup as an original equipment option on our stand should you want to add this modern touch to your Truing Stand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does Islandix work? The system turns live measurements into visualizations for wheel work. Visualization overcomes traditional problems with quantitative truing: eliminating the need to zero indicators, remembering alignment around the wheel, and scaling to work quantitatively right from the start or knock out gnarly repairs. Visualization combines data from multiple sensors, helping find the shortest path to perfect alignment. Data supercharges wheel building but respect for the craft remains at its center. Digital functions are controlled by foot pedal so the muscle memory of working with your hands remains the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abbey Bike Tools","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":60774239535438,"sku":"Whl-Std-TrngStnd","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"With Islandix indicators","offer_id":60774239568206,"sku":"whl-std-TrngStnd_Islndx","price":3099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"With Mitutoyo indicators","offer_id":60774239600974,"sku":"whl-std-TrngStnd_mtty","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/5765\/2046\/files\/ahs4okmc-1024x1024.jpg?v=1789159320"},{"product_id":"abt-stu-stick-rotor-truing-tool","title":"Abbey Bike Tools Stu Stick Rotor Truing Tool","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt bike races I normally try to make the rounds, see what people are up to, show them new tools and get inspiration for new products.

Bearing related work is becoming more and more common on modern bikes and no shop, professional or amature should pass over these tools. The Modular bearing press starts with the press head. Where most manufactures just have a glorified nut we went further by adding a massive thrust bearing. Not a wimpy little plastic washer either, an actual bearing with balls and races. What this means is that the pressing action is almost completely isolated from the torque, creating a super smooth pressing action that requires noticeably less effort. Then we added a pair of 5\" machined handles for a little extra leverage. We use a 1\/2\" acme thread for our press shaft, which means a more robust thread and less turning due to it's coarser thread. It also means we have a single diameter to work with and can size our drifts to this dimension, this means your bearings are more likely to go in straight. At the other end of the press is our new Quick Nut. This simple part allows you to slide the nut over the press shaft to the desired location and then click it into place and press away. No endless turning, no pinch hazard and no wasted time.

Apparently she forgot it the year before and wanted to make the pending day something to remember. So after some secret spy photos of Dave's existing tool collection we pitched her what would become known as the Harbor Gauge. We built that first prototype and commissioned a custom walnut case for it and shipped it to Sydney where the Rome's live. It was one special morning to get a bespoke tool from your favorite bike tool company. At the time it was one of a kind and is a standout favorite in a rather extensive tool collection.
