Bicycle Wheel Truing Jig

prusaprinters

<p>I like riding my bike. Especially my road bike.</p> <p>But due to bad roads i need to true the wheels on a regular basis.</p> <p>I do not have a Stand/Jig for this. And since i dont need a super expensive one, i designed my own.</p> <p>I found <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3196568">this</a> design, but since i am in Europe the 1" tube are hard to source.</p> <p>If you find any errors, please let me know.</p> <p>Assembly ideas:</p> <p>The tubes are 30x30mm aluminium square tubes (wallt hickness 2mm). In my jig I chose the uprights to be 1m long. the Tube to clamp it is 300mm long.</p> <p>The threaded rods are all 8mm metric thread.</p> <p>The bracket to moutn the wheel can be screwed in, or just can be glued in.</p> <p>The marker holder is splitted in two to make it easily printable. Just glue the two pieces together.</p> <p>The knob has a hole all the way though to tighen against the holder to prevent the wobbling that swolebro talked about in his video.</p> <p>Future possible upgrades:</p> <ul> <li>Mount to use a dial indicator</li> <li>openScad spacer generator</li> <li>Smaller marker tip</li> </ul> Category: Sport & Outdoors
