Abbey Bike Tools Truing Stand $1,450

There’s a truing stand, 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 heroes are made from, the legendary perfectly built wheel. So what if we revisit the lowly truing stand and approach it like a piece of metrology equipment instead of something that does little more than hold a wheel? There are so many ways to ‘hack’ a truing stand; if you’re going to make a proper tool, why not go all out?

I mean, this is Abbey Tools we’re talking about!

The brand’s newest announcement is a MUSA Truing Stand with lots of bells and whistles:

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.
Compatible with 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.
Optional Mitutoyo analog indicators for enhanced accuracy.
Optional Islandix Instruments quantitative truing system.
