Now this is something I have been promising myself for a while, and pulled the trigger on it just before Christmas.
An Islandix truing system, from the website, “Islandix Wheel Analytics reads data from digital indicators and creates useful visualizations for wheel building”.

I am so excited, my days off this week are now planned, so you will have to wait to see the set up. It is not cheap when you add up everything you need (nothing good is), but really as a small manufacturer, the price is extraordinary when you factor in research, development, manufacturing & post!

I have a raspberry pi 400 keyboard to power it all up and a large TV screen on an adjustable bracket. One of the main reasons, large dials, don’t have to wear my glasses all the time is the thinking!

As ever the import and tax hurts £80.02p. Glad I am paying enough tax to subsidise the multi-billion pound corporations who are not! (You know I heard on the radio here the other day, the UK tax payer is subsidising the tax bill of said corporations to £100 billion a year, and the health service which is in a precarious state “only” needs £55 billion over 15 years to make it good again. Sorry I digress).

Yes, it was a three biscuit moment…..
