Product Description:

There are truing stands and then there is The Truing Stand. 

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 they 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? 

Abbey Bike Tools set out to make a truing stand like no other, something that had a stable base as a foundation for precision and repeatability. They  wanted the stand to reliably mirror on a centerline so it would always be in dish regardless of hub or rim width. They needed a good thru axle solution that didn't require adapters. In the disc brake era they wanted to be able to straighten rotors while the wheel was in the stand. They wanted a stand that was equally at home truing wheels for a general tune up as it was building wheels worthy of elite competition. They 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 they spent nearly 6 years thinking and tinkering this one, the results do not disappoint. 

Features of the Abbey Bike Tools The Truing Stand:

• Igus drive components for nearly maintence free operation.
• Linear rails for smooth movement of the uprights.
• Lateral indicators ride on sealed cartridge bearings for smooth operation.
• Indicators operate on a push pull motion so they are always mirrored from centerline.
• The radial indicator can be positioned wherever you like or used for single sided lateral truing if desired.  
• Optional Mitutoyo analog indicators for enhanced accuracy.
• Optional Islandix Instruments quantitative truing system. 
• Accommodates hub widths from 70 to 220 millimeters
• Lateral indicators are compatible with rim widths from 15 to 65 millimeters. The single indicator can work with any rim width if additional compatibility is needed. 
• Rotor indicator can accommodate rotor sizes from 120 to 210 millimeters. 
• Rotor truing mount can also accommodate a dial indicator if desired. 
• Compatible with traditional QR and bolt on hubs with axle diameters up to 14mm. Wheels can also be bolted into the open dropout plates for added wheel security which is recommended for internally geared hubs and hub based motor systems.
