The file 'Bicycle Wheel Buckle Truing Gauge 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.5MB.

Summary

On occasion I need to true up a buckled bicycle wheel. I made this gauge to assist in this task.

Print the number of parts specified in the file name - "_x4" = print 4 off.

Clamp the wheel horizontally in a bench vice (pictured). Clamp it by the nut, not the thread on the axle (obviously). Offer up the gauge to the rim. Coarse adjust the arms with the collars and fine adjust the arms with the two grub screws on each arm.

(Note: The lower white collar is in PLA and the rest in PETG for absolutely no good reason. Choose your favourite filament.)
