Unior Introduces 32 Compatible Pro Truing Stand 2.1 and Upgrade Kit for 2.0
If weve learned anything in the past year, its that 32 wheels have arrived, and we can probably expect to see A LOT more of them in the coming months and years. To be fair, 32 wheels have been around for a while, but theyve clearly gained more mainstream interest and acceptance, outside of their previously niche use and popularity. Whether or not they maintain traction (pun intended) in the market remains to be seen, but it seems pretty likely that theyll be sticking around for the foreseeable future.With seemingly more 32 wheels, tires, forks, and frames coming out every week, there is obviously going to be a need for some new 32 compatible tools and accessories. Late last year, Tubolito got in the game with the announcement of 32 TPU tubes (although they dont appear to be available just yet). At Sea Otter just recently, we saw numerous bike rack brands demonstrating or talking about 32 compatibility. Now, Unior Tools is getting in the action, with the announcement of the 32 compatible Truing Stand 2.1 and an upgrade kit to modify the 2.0 version.Uniors Pro Truing Stand 2.1 is compatible with 32 wheels.Unior Pro Truing Stand 2.1As far as designing new tools is concerned, creating a 32 compatible truing stand looks about as easy as it gets. In the case of the Pro Truing Stand 2.1, it appears that all Unior needed to do was create new, longer upright arms to make enough clearance for 32 wheels. In fact, the rest of the stands design and features appear to be identical to the Pro Truing Stand 2.0, which has been around for a few years.Technical FeaturesPrecision threads, springs, and bearings for smooth operation and less frequent calibrationSpring-loaded caliper arms for fast, repeatable wheel changesSimultaneous axial control for accurate rim truingFull adjustable caliper for different rim sizesComposite caliper tips protect the rim surfaceCompatibilityAccepts wheels up to 32 with tire installedSupports solid axle, quick-release, and all through axle hub standardsThrough axle compatibility ensured with one pair of included adaptersThe Pro Truing Stand 32 Upgrade Kit includes longer upright arms to increase clearance for 32 wheels.

Pricing and availability information were not provided, but the Truing Stand 2.1 and the 32 Upgrade Kit are both listed on Uniors global website. We think its safe to assume they will be available soon, but that may vary depending on the geographic market.Price-wise, were guessing it will likely be about the same as the Truing Stand 2.0, which retails for $400 USD.
