When it comes to precision hub servicing, the Shimano TL-FH12 Hub Setting Tool stands out as an indispensable addition to every professional mechanic’s or serious cyclist’s toolkit. Specially engineered to assist with the setup and alignment of 12 mm thru-axle rear hubs, this tool simplifies one of the most technically sensitive areas of bike maintenance: ensuring your rear hub axle is set perfectly straight and true.
Crafted with Shimano's renowned machining precision, the TL-FH12 acts as a dedicated adaptor, allowing you to mount 12 mm thru-axle Freehubs (FH) directly to a truing stand (such as the Shimano USP). This functionality is critical when truing or servicing wheels with thru-axles, which otherwise lack the support traditional quick-release systems offer. With the TL-FH12, your hub is held firmly and precisely in position, eliminating guesswork and improving your alignment accuracy.
The tool features a hardened, corrosion-resistant steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability even under constant use in workshop environments. Its precisely machined interfaces create a perfect fit with Shimano hubs, reducing play and preventing wear on both the hub and truing stand. This results in smoother, more accurate truing, axle alignment, and overall rear hub serviceability.
Whether you're building wheels, replacing hub internals, or fine-tuning an existing setup, the TL-FH12 ensures the axle and hub are seated with exactness, preserving the integrity of your components and reducing unnecessary wear. It’s a must-have for mechanics working with thru-axle hubs or anyone who demands meticulous hub alignment.
