Abbey Lacing Stand

Abbey Tools (Bend, OR) has acquired the Noble catalog and the awesome and effective lacing stand is available.

The Noble stand, designed and built by Jonny Bell (London), was one of our most popular tools over the past several years. We've sold hundreds. He 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.
