Manual Machining
CNC machines have their place, but for one-of-a-kind projects, prototypes, or small batch runs, manual machines can mean more flexibility and lower setup costs.

A beauty!Β I used to notice my wheel would spin less freely on the stand. That problem is now gone.
A solid upgrade. I think the weight penalty is worth the many benefits and Iβm stoked with it. Itβs the best that hub has ever worked. Thanks for getting me back on the trail!Β

At just 40g it's light and small enough to chuck in a pack. Better yet, it's precise enough to use in the workshop with a snug fit and a guiding pin to prevent cam-off.Β A highly niche tool for sure, and also very clever.

If you own a Chromag Bike with the 12mm thru bolt hanger, you might be interested in this creation by our mechanic, Pete. It's a packable shop quality tool that utilizes your rear axle for the handle.

Pinner Pete
I started Pinner with a glorified drill press in my garage, while attempting to make a home project come to life. I couldn't afford to pay a big machine shop for a custom one-off, so I thought I'd do it myself!
