Wheel sizer
Revision as of 19:30, 29 July 2024 by Scott@sopobikes (talk | contribs)
A wheel sizer is a tool to quickly find the size of a wheel that doesn't have a tire on it. The wheel is placed in the sizer, and the axle hits a line labeled with the size.
Construction
The wheel sizer shown is built from:
- Plywood 30 inches wide and 36 inches tall
- (2) "2x6" (actual 1.5 inch by 5.5 inch) boards 30 inches long
- Screws
The 2x6s are screwed on from the back. The inside gap between the 2x6s is 25.25 inches at the top and 14.25 inches at the bottom. The 2x6s start about 2 inches from the bottom of the back board.
Tips
- Try to use 2x6s instead of 2x4s because wheels with longer axels are too thick for 2x4s
- The type and thickness of plywood isn't important, but a smooth-ish surface and painting it a light color will help to see which line the axle lands on
- The dimensions given will allow you to measure 18" to 27" wheels (including 29" wheels, which are actually smaller than 27" wheels)
- The angle of the two boards, determined by the top and bottom distance between them, is fairly important. Small changes will affect how far apart the lines are or whether certain wheel sizes fit.
