They're back in stock and improved! The new base is machined underneath for easier and more stable leg attachment. Now only a single screw is needed for each.
When you buy this beauty from us, you get two features not offered by Abbey:
Bearing spacers (you don't see) inside the rim rollers so tightening them to the posts does not seize the bearings. Your rollers will spin like hubs.
Solid axle hub supports. These came with the original Noble Stand. We've made them and they're included. You can lace solid axle hubs and ebike motor hubs.
The Noble stand, designed and built by Jonny Bell (London), was one of our most popular tools over the past several years. Hundreds have been sold across the globe. Jonny shut down and transferred his catalog to Abbey.
Find out what a huge benefit a lacing stand is for your building. You'll find it especially useful for:
Different spokes models on each side.
Multiple nipple colors.
Hidden nipples.
Straight pull spokes.
Interruptions by customers or pets.
Elaborate spoke patterns.
A lacing stand holds everything in place so you can pause and reflect on next steps. The alternative, lap lacing, is superior in the back seat of a moving car but not much else.
The stand legs are marked for rim diameters. The center post holds hubs with quick release or through axles (12 and 15mm). Abbey is ready to make custom center posts for hub motors, geared and track hubs, etc.
Soon Noble's digital dishing attachment will be available. Bolted to the center post, you'll have access to dishing numbers to 0.1mm accuracy.
For travel or storage, the stand also folds so all three legs are parallel.
