Bicycle Wheel Truing Jig

thingiverse

I like riding my bike. Especially my road bike. But due to bad roads i need to true the wheels on a regular basis. I do not have a Stand/Jig for this. And since i dont need a super expensive one, i designed my own. I found [this](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3196568) design, but since i am in Europe the 1" tube are hard to source. If you find any errors, please let me know. Assembly ideas: 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. The threaded rods are all 8mm metric thread. The bracket to moutn the wheel can be screwed in, or just can be glued in. The marker holder is splitted in two to make it easily printable. Just glue the two pieces together. 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. Future possible upgrades: - Mount to use a dial indicator - openScad spacer generator - Smaller marker tip
