WHEEL TRUING STAND // PROD. CODE: 2331515
DANGER
Danger due to incorrectly centred wheels!
Incorrectly centred wheels can suddenly fail and lead to defects and falls!
• Wheel truing may only be carried out by persons with the necessary expertise.
• Incorrectly centred wheels or wheels with too high or too low spoke tension can suddenly fail while
cycling.
• The tolerances of the spoke and rim indicated by the manufacturers must be observed.
• Use the special tools recommended by the spoke and nipple manufacturers to true wheels.
• The wheel hub must be free of play.
• If in doubt, seek professional advice from a qualified bicycle mechanic.
General information
Please read this manual carefully before first using your new wheel truing stand and make sure you
understand everything.
Keep this manual for future reference. If you sell or give away your wheel truing stand, please also include
the owner’s manual.
Compatibility / Intended use
The truing stand accommodates wheels from 16” to 29” and is compatible with all common axle variants
(quick release, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 20mm thru axle) and a hub with of max. 180mm.
The truing stand is only suitable for truing bicycle wheels and must not be used for other types of wheels.
Assembling the wheel truing stand
1. Mount the stand’s feet (5) by putting the enclosed screws in the holes on the underside of the truing
stand (required tool: 5 mm hex wrench). The feet must be screwed on in such a way that the oval holes
lie flat against the base (e.g. workbench).
2. Turn the radial knob (4) with the integrated threaded rod into the central hole under the bar. The radial
knob (4) and the axial knob (3) differ in their thread length, whereby the radial knob has a longer thread.
3. Thread the axial knob (3) into the hole under the calliper (2).
4. If you have a fixed place for the truing stand, you can connect it firmly to your workbench using the four
external holes on the stand (5).
Using the wheel truing stand
1. Adjust the arms (1) and the calliper (2) so that the wheel can be inserted into the truing stand.
2. For wheels with 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm or 20mm thru axle, the two adapter mounts (7) can be
used. Remove the two adapter mounts from the holder, if need be, and insert them into the prisms (8) of
the wheel mounts. Wheels with quick-release skewer can be inserted directly into the prisms (8) without
using the adapters.
3. Insert the wheel into the wheel holder by placing it between the two adapters and turn the side knob (6)
clockwise.
→
The two arms of the wheel holder move together simultaneously.
4. Mount the wheel in the dropouts of the truing stand.
→
The quick release, or the adapters, should only be tightened enough so that the wheel is held
securely.
5. Swivel the calliper (2) towards the rim by turning the knob (4).
→
Depending on the position, the calliper (2) can be used to measure the vertical or lateral run-out.
6. Move the calliper (2) as close as possible to the rim by turning the knob (3).
7. Start truing the wheel.
NOTE: Due to different shapes and/or wear on the end caps of the hubs, the indicated centricity may be
inaccurate. Use a centring gauge for precise truing and the final fine-tuning of the wheel.

Adjusting the wheel truing stand
The truing stand has an automatic centre adjustment and is centred ex works. This setting can shift after
intensive use, but also by lateral force acting on the arms of the truing stand.
The ROSE centring gauge supplied can be used to readjust the wheel truing stand.
Checking the centricity of the truing stand
1. Adjust the arms (1) and the calliper (2) so that the centring gauge (9) can be inserted into the truing
stand.
2. Insert the centring gauge into the dropouts and turn the side knob (6) clockwise.
→
The two arms of the wheel holder move together simultaneously.
→
Make sure that the centring gauge rests correctly in the prisms (8) of the wheel truing stand.
3. Swivel the calliper (2) towards the centring gauge by turning the radial knob (4) and move the arms of
the calliper as close as possible to the centring gauge by turning the other knob (3).
4. Check the correct setting of the centring stand.
→
The distance between the centring gauge (9) and the calliper (2) must be the same on both sides!
Adjusting the centricity of the truing stand
1. Make sure that the centring gauge (9) is properly clamped in
the truing stand.
2. Loosen the two clamp bolts (A) (tool required: 4 mm hex
wrench).
3. Swivel the two arms of the truing stand (1) until the distance
between the centring gauge (9) and the arms (1) is the same
on both sides (C).
Permissible dev/- 1 mm.
4. Tighten the clamp bolt (A) to a torque of 8 Nm.
5. Check the centricity again.
6. If the distance between the centring gauge and the arms (C) is
the same on both sides, but the distance between the centring
gauge (9) and the calliper (2) is not, loosen the screws of the
calliper (B) and move the calliper until the distance between
the calliper and the centring gauge is the same on both sides.
Tighten the bolts again (tool required: 13mm open-ended
spanner, box or socket wrench).
Maintenance and care
Regular care and maintenance ensure high durability and reliability, as well as unlimited functionality.
ROSE Bikes recommends carrying out the following tasks:
→
Handle the truing stand with care and make sure to protect it from damages and corrosion during
storage. A proper functioning of the truing stand largely depends on its condition.
→
Regularly check the screw connections and tighten them, if necessary. If the screw connections are
loose, malfunctions may occur or measured values may be inaccurate.
→
Regularly clean the wheel truing stand and grease the metal parts with universal oil to prevent
corrosion.
→
Before each use, check that the calliper (2) moves smoothly.
→
Regularly check the centricity setting with the ROSE centring gauge.
