The FT-500Pro is the professional grade version of the FT-50W wider model. This version includes high-end meter gauges for checking vertical and horizontal shaking of the bicycle wheel much more precisely when compared to traditional scratch-sound systems.
- FT-500Pro is a special tool for precisely maintaining the bicycle wheel. Do not use this product for any other purpose than instructed.
- Remove the quick-release (Q/R) skewer from your wheel before use.
- We also recommend removing the tire from the wheel before use.
- The max wheel hub width is 210mm which covers most wide rims for fat bikes. Remove the spring from the right side coupling axle when you mount a very wide hub.
- Clamps on a standard 9mm Q/R using the side couplings.
- 12mm or 15mm thru axle type hubs are also compatible Insert the supplied adapters in the hub hole for mounting.
- Please note that a small amount of rim surface scratches from the roller is normal. Especially on carbon or softer metal wheels. But it's much less than a standard scratching mechanism and safer.
- Do not spin the wheel too fast. Rotate slowly.
- The verticality of the pillar is the most important matter on FT-500Pro. Do not apply any shock or damage to the pillars even while storing.
