Ralph reviewed this product as "Tool of the Month" in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics magazine (March 2024) and was blown away by it. We have been waiting impatiently since we started Biker's Toolbox for someone to manufacture a decent wheel building frame that actually works. This jig works a treat. Its primary use is as a wheel builder and as far as we are aware it is the ONLY competent tool on the market for this job. It has the second use as a wheel balancer. As a balancer it's great, but is limited in size. During testing it proved not to be wide enough to take a rear wheel from a modern Z900RS and hasn't enough depth to balance a 21" tyre off a trail bike. This unit has the extra advantage of folding up so that it doesn't take up much space
This dual purpose stand is designed to support a motorcycle wheel through the wheel bearings, allowing it to be freely rotated so that it can be checked for both balance and rim alignment. The stand features an adjustable pointer which can be set so that radial and lateral runout can be checked and adjusted, with gravity being used to find the heavy spot on the wheel and tyre combination. The stand is foldable making it ideal for mobile use and easy to store when not in use.
- Designed for manual wheel balancing & checking rim alignment of all types of motorcycle wheel.
- Particularly useful when fitting new spokes or rebuilding a spoked wheel to ensure the wheel is true in all directions.
- Suitable for road & off-road motorcycle wheels.
-Will fit rims up to 5" (125mm) wide, maximum rim diameter 23" (585mm).
- Regular price
- £150.00
- Sale price
- £99.25

Let customers speak for us
The tool works perfectly and is a good alternative to the original. It's a shame that the UK is no longer in the EU. Customs duties make it expensive, but I couldn't find anything cheaper on the European mainland.
Bought one of these when I started as an apprentice toolmaker in 1968, After several new heads both hyde and copper, I thought it was time to replace it.
Brilliant tool, well made, heavily used and never let me down. WShy would I not replace with exactly the same model.
Quality instrument well made with good case. Excellent value for money
Good quality handy size packs quick postage
Excellent service again from Bikers Toolbox, cannot recommend highly enough.
As soon as I held the vernier calipers in my hand, I could understand the quality.
Absolutely brilliant just plugged it in and it worked perfthanks
A very useful piece of kit at not too much cost. Good folk to deal with,I even got some fruit salad and a Blackjack thrown in the box!
