Mount the 1753\/6 on a wheel that's true, then on a wheel that's slightly out of true, and notice the difference in how the indicator behaves through the rotation.

The trap is the anchor itself. A Lefty hub that isn't fully seated in the adapter will read as a wheel that's out of true (it isn't; the hub is moving), and the resulting “truing” pass will introduce real lateral and radial error into a wheel that was true before you started.

The bearing service tray sits alongside Unior's wheel-truing stand and dishing-tool catalog as part of the wheel-build workflow; the bearing-service step is one of the load-bearing stops between hub teardown and rim-finishing-and-tension, and the tray puts the puller and press functions in one workshop motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePro tip from our mechanics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wrong bearing punch size is the most common cause of damaged cartridge bearings during installation. A punch slightly larger than the bearing's outer race transfers load onto the bearing seal instead of the outer race, which damages the seal on the first press. Use the punch sized to the bearing's exact OD, not “close enough.” The tray's organized cutouts make the right-size selection visible before the press starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the broader picture on workshop tool inventory, including the bearing service kit alongside the rest of the bench: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tech-tips\/what-bike-tools-do-i-need\"\u003eWhat bike tools do I need? →\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich bearing sizes can the SET-2600E-US press and pull?\u003c\/strong\u003e The press side carries 21 adaptors for standard cartridge bearings: 608, 1526, 6000, 6001, 6802, 6803, 6804, 6805, 6900, 6901, 6902, 6903, R6 and 28x17 (Hope), plus BB30, the Press-Fit bottom bracket standards and SRAM DUB (29x42).

If the stand sees one bike at a time and that bike is in the stand for half a day, the auto-adjust mechanism is a luxury. If the stand sees a parade of different bikes back-to-back, the auto-adjust pays back fast. The decision is mostly about how many bike swaps per day your portable sees: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tech-tips\/how-to-choose-a-bike-repair-stand\"\u003eHow to choose a bike repair stand →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tube sizes does the auto-adjusting jaw take?\u003c\/strong\u003e Official Unior catalog range for 1693A-US is 24 to 32 mm.
