Fast and proficient. It allows the torque of a wrench and the speed of a screwdriver. $28 WHEEL AND ROTOR TOOLS: The synergistic nature of these ground breaking tools have set new higher standards for all rotors in the industry. No longer are disc rotors expected to rub un-neccessarily. Drumstix III; new style of the original rotor re-alignment levers. ( 5 ears ahead of park )More ergonomically designed for easy use. Total manipulation available to the mechanic. A set of the three that implemented a new higher shop standard in better bike shops around the globe. Thick, heat treated billet aluminum that will never wear out, the set is one main offset tool and two stabilizers. Available in a set of 3 Aluminum= $29, or the aluminum main tool, singularly = $16, or pairs of aluminum stabilizers for $18. For a limited offering; the original main stainless tool =$19 R2.O.C.-TECH: Rotor and Rim survey tool. The original dial indicated tool that mounts in all dropouts, whether on a bike or any truing stand, replacing the QR nut. First of its kind to survey rotor wobble and hop to existing caliper location, no need to pull the wheel. AND for rims- every spokes influence on the rim is represented- zero guesswork. You will tune a stronger rim with every spoke taking its load. Instructions describe how it can be used as a dishing tool in dropouts. There is no need to own a truing stand and it is far more accurate than any sight stand, no matter how expensive the stand. AND it travels easily in a 3àcontainer. $103 There are several options to compliment the main R2.O.C.-TECH tool; 1. A radial extension for checking rims, .. $25 2. A hand held handle and adapter for the race mechanic in charge of lots of wheels, in hand held mode, the base mounts directly to the wheelÂs axle nut. No stand, no bike needed; That option also serves as the most accurate dishing tool. $24 3. An adapter for the original 20mm through axles. $29 4. Adapter for QR15 Maxles or 20 mm Maxles $24 The R2.O.C.-TECH is very race portable, the entire set of tools and its accessories travel in a 3 case... $185 ( maxle sleeves extra) Tool Steel Countersink; used to chamfer the holes in the rotor surface, eliminating the cheese grater effect. Pads last longer and there is more modulation with smoother action $12 Rotors: tempered stainless steel 160 mm rotors that are prepped to perfection. All holes are countersunk for longer pad life and smoother modulation, true mounting. Wear surface guaranteed to be true within .002 .05mm $28 WHEEL TOOLS: STAND DIAL INDICATOR RETROFITS: TS-2 and Pedros truing stand retro fit dial indicators for rotors and rims; Bring those stands into the 21st century. R.O.C.-TECH: Rotors-on-center, Advanced tools for speed and accuracy, easiest to use of the planet ! The original retro fit rotor survey tool for the TS-2 truing stand, will also fit the Pedro's stand. a semi permanent leg mounted dial indicator. It eliminates guesswork and frustration on rotor work. Easily thumbscrew adjustable for various rotor diameters. Complete with instructions and tips, . $69 R.O.C2.-TECH; Rims on Center and Concentric. This is another retrofit kit for the TS-2 truing stand, adding two dial indicators to the armÂs end. These two indicators survey wobble and hop near simultaneously. The mechanic has a clear view to adjust wobble and hop in one move, when choosing the correct spokes. Every spokeÂs double influence on the rim is represented. There are no holes to drill. Both gauges are thumbscrew adjustable to survey rims from 26 x 30mm wide to 27àx 18mm wide. (All 700c/29àas well. ) This addition certainly puts wheel maintenance into the 21st century- the stand becomes a real workhorse. Rims are stronger when even - there are no compensating spokes when using indicators. $126 One saves almost ½ the time involved. The less time spent working on a bike, the more time to ride. ( on better wheels ! ) UNIVERSAL DROPOUT MOUNT; front, rear or any truing stand; R2.O.C.-TECH: Rotor and Rim survey tool. A dial indicated tool that mounts in all dropouts, whether on a bike or any truing stand, replacing the QR nut. Survey rotor wobble and hop to existing caliper location, no need to pull the wheel. AND for rims- every spokeÂs influence on the rim is represented- zero guesswork. You will tune a stronger rim with every spoke taking its load. Instructions describe how it can be used as a dishing tool in dropouts. There is no need to own a truing stand and it is far more accurate than any sight stand, no matter how expensive the stand. AND it travels easily in a 3 container. $103 There are several options to compliment the main R2.O.C.-TECH tool; 1. A radial extension for checking rims,. $25 2. A hand held handle and adapter for the race mechanic in charge of lots of wheels, in hand held mode, the base mounts directly to the wheelÂs axle nut. No stand, no bike needed; That option also serves as the most accurate dishing tool. $24 3. An adapter for the original 20mm through axles. $29 4. Adapter for QR15 Maxles or 20 mm Maxles $24 The R2.O.C.-TECH is very race portable, the entire set of tools and its accessories travel in a 3 case... $185 (maxle sleeves extra) Dial Indicated Dishing Tool. A dedicated dishing tool for use w/o removing the wheel from bike or stand. For the master mechanic who likes save time. It is very accurate and the special tip allows it to be used while the wheel is in place, either in dropouts or a stand- no need to pull the wheel - it reads over the QR. $149 FRAME TOOLS: Dropout Square; a great tool for the survey of the rear triangle and forks to see how symmetrical the dropouts in comparison to the frame structure itself. The tool adapts to 9mm, 100 mm wide forks, 135, 140 and 150mm rear triangles/swing arms.Allows the mechanic to shim the wheel to the exact center of that frame section. $129 Sight Align; a set of 4 tool steel bars that become dropout and bottom bracket standards. The Sight-Align allows the mechanic to survey the frame using the dropouts as the plane of reference. This method is 140 times more accurate and the correct start for a finished frame. The mechanic measures off the ends of the centered bars, back to the frame in a sequential manner described in the instructions to determine frame trueness in both X and Y off the center line in reference to the simulated road plane. Even the bottom bracket is measured for square and parallel as well as its ends from the center line. The kit contains: 4 standards, one bb calibration tool, a pair of frame clamps and exacting instructions. ask for pix and a sheet of it'ÃÂs abilities $249 The third one is for the wheel- " in hand on the floor, off bike, out of stand." With the QR out, You loosen the axle nuts on the non drive side because the bearings are too tight/ and or they are still loose from you repacking the bearings; you slip the rod with the arms into the axle on the drive side, letting the arms slide around the 17mm axle nut. The longer dropped side of the main body now will not let the axle nuts turn because it is held in place by the spokes, thus allowing you to adjust the bearings w/o the axle or nut on the drive side turning. Theoretically, you will be able to make that adjustment easier and more accurately w/o chasing that axle around. $15.50Rear shock bushing press/remover; used to remove and replace standard 12mm and /or àbushings found on many shocks. $24 Bushing press/remover with both 12mm and àpunches ..$29 ( unit can be rented- see our policy on same ) TAPPING TOOLS: Balance 2x , Proprietary new handle allow for easier alignment of the tap and make extraction of the tap much faster and precise. A set of two for taps to 3/8 / 10mm = $48 TOOL RENTAL PLANS; Since Â07. I realize not every one can afford to purchase these tools- that is understandable àwe are not in a bustling economy for working people. If I did not make them, I would not be able to buy them either. ( Nor would I be on a decent bike riding unbelievable trails! I have a hunch that once you use the tools you will see their life long benefit and figure out a way to keep them ( or not). Many guys chip in with their buddies, many buy them and start charging their buddies to pay them off. Several riders bought them with plans on setting up a booth at their local flea market to tune wheels. To rent any tool, pls pay for it in advance, use it in good health, then send it back, undamaged, during its rental period ( or some where close) for reimbursement. Rental cost will go towards purchase. The Freehub BUDDY, the Freehub Disassembly tool and DRUMSTIX; each can be rented for $7 a week end, or $10 a week. Try it before you buy it. When renting the FHB, and or the FHD dissassembly tool,I would recommend buying a dust shield of choice, and a small soup. (enough for 3-5 applications ) The R.O.C-TECH is $15 a week end, $20 a week, add $4 for the DRUMSTIX. The R2.O.C.-TECH and the R.O.C2.-TECH are each $20 a week end and $27 a week. Add $4 for the DRUMSTIX. The Rear shock bushing press/remover rental is $5 for a week, $7 for a week; RACE MECHANIC TOOLS: Tool Topper; mounts to the top of most park and Ultimate work stands. It is a tool organizer bar that uses standard peg board hooks and hardware to arrange nearly every tool made ready at hand to the mechanic. Will hold 15 lbs worth of tooling within arms reach ! It swings out of the way for backside clearance. Ask for e-pix. $58 Novelties: Cog belt buckles- 11 to 18 tooth, belt loops sizes àto 1-1/2à$28S NEW THIS YEAR; Rim Tools; Rim Wrench; specially designed wrench to grab the bead and pivot off the lower wall of the offending dent to re-straighten the rim wall to perfection. Does not mar any painted or anodized surface. Easy to use- works on all rim types/ sizes. $18 TRAIL TOOL: T/Rale Tool, a great gift item for the trail backpack. Light weight heat treated 7075 billit aluminum trail tool- 22 grams light ! A comfortable long leverage TIRE TOOL, a very good, durable ROTOR FORK, an easy to use, ÃÂdoes-not crimp-the-cap emergency bottle opener and a key ring hole to make it a key fob- never lose those keys again ! . $16 ( it will not mar any rims, aluminum or carbon) GNU STANDARD- the world's easiest and most accurate wheel stand Designed for wheel builders it is a dream come true. This unique stand will survey rims and rotors using dial indicators for the very fast and accurate truing of complete wheels, rims and rotors. The left lateral gauge slides up and down the leg to serve both rim and rotors. The bottom gauge surveys rims radially and is adjustable laterally for various dishing and vertically for 26 and 29/700c rims. Using two gauges on the rim allows the mechanic to adjust the correct spoke each time for wobble and hop simultaneously. The much stronger wheel is tuned as each spoke's influence is readily seen and adjusted - every spoke is doing its job. Any variation over .008 or .02 mm is a spoke too tight or too loose. Did I mention it is fast ??? ( and relatively cheap ! ) Stand with hub adapters for 9mm,10mm, $250 QR15 adapters and 20 mm Maxle adapters available $24 each 3RD Hand cone wrenches:Here's pix of the prototypes for two of three 3rd hand axle wrenches coming out soon. The first two create a new way of tuning the hub's bearings- the third one is assisting for the more traditional way- wheel off bike. all are very handy. To me the most handy of them is the one that slips inside the frame, in between the cassette and frame or the hub and the fork. The tabs connect with the chain stay or fork leg keeping the axle from turning while a cone adjustment is made; one would use it after they have repacked the wheel bearings and realize the adjustment isn't quite correct after they have re- inserted the wheel. Rather than re- pull the wheel or put up with a bad adjustment- one would simply un-clamp the QR- make the fine tune and then button up the QR again for the final check. ( that is if people care about a fine tuned wheel- ) $12.50 The second puppy is magnetic and rests at the top one one leg of the popular TS-2 stand. it will not interfere with entry if a jam nut is misaligned as it will easily slide out of the way. ( a light magnet - that affects no bearings) Once in place, this then prevents the axle rolling as one adjusts the hub bearings in the stand. Yes, this may be a new way of adjusting the bearings but it far faster in the long run. $12.50 Again, all these should allow for more fine tuned wheel bearings. ( My R.2.O.C.-TECH actually measures the bearing clearance ) A set of three........... $34 Rim ÂRench Âa tool designed for the very utilitarian job of pulling dents out of rims. $16.00 I trust one will find these tools to be of great benefit to the mechanic that wants to see improvements and great addition to most any tool box. Great tools from the vertical trails of the Southern Sierras Any questions, pls do not hesitate to contact me.
