Thread the tool directly into your derailleur/mech hanger and use measuring bar to locate and mark the distance to the wheel at multiple points. Alignment is corrected by applying pressure to the arm of the tool at multiple intervals (90°, 180°, 270°, 360°) to give the best results.
Easy to use and prevent brake rubbing issues. Set the correct clearance between the brake pads and the rotor. The two thin plates simulate the clearance between the brake pads and the rotor. Follow the simple steps below: 1) Loosen the bolts holding the brake caliper to the adaptor/frame. Just loosen it sufficiently so that the brake caliper can slide from side to side. 2/ Insert the Caliper Alignment Tool between the pads and the rotor. 3) Pull the brake lever- focing the pads against the alignment tool and in turn against the rotor 4) While still holding on to the brake lever, tighten the bolts on the brake caliper. 5) Release the brake lever and remove the tool and your pads should now be centred to the rotor with an equal distance either side.
An essential tool for measuring and straightening off-kilter hangers, the Park Tool derailleur hanger alignment tool has improved upon its predecessor, the DAG-2, with increased strength, tighter tolerances for greater accuracy and improved clearance and reach for a wider range of frame/hanger combinations. Adjustable to allow you to work on wheels ranging from 20" to 29" +, the heavy gauge steel and chrome plated Park Tool DAG-2.2 will also fit Shimano Direct Mount hangers, making it a fantastically versatile, must-have tool for anyone serious about maintaining their bike.
These T-shaped, long-levered tools are ideal for accurately determining bike/fork dropout misalignment and straightening them back to their optimum fitting. Comfortable moulded grips make the job of realignment quick and easy, preventing potential shifting, tracking and steering problems and damage to axles and quick-release skewers. A fantastic tool for an essential piece of maintenance, the Frame & Fork Alignment Gauge Set FFG-2 will keep you on the straight and narrow.
Taking it's reading directly from the dropout, the FAG-2 will precisely tell you what level of realignment is required to get your bike back to its peak performance. Off-kilter frames often have a detrimental impact on how your bike rides and even after wheel and derailleur adjustments, your wheels may still not be lined up properly. However, with this Frame Alignment Gauge and its retractable pointer, the exact realignment can be pin-pointed quickly and precisely for any size of bike. The FAG-2 is an ideal device to help make sure your bike and wheels are perfectly aligned for optimum performance.

The Park Tool DAG2.2 Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauge can help solve a multitude of derailleur shifting problems, most notably with index shifting systems. Updated over the longstanding DAG-1, the DAG-2.2 utilises a longer measuring pointer, longer threaded stud and a longer, narrower alignment boss to fit a wider variety of bikes. This tool is extremely steady in operation and is simple to use. The tool threads directly into the derailleur hanger. The gauge bar holds a gauge which marks the distance to the wheel. The gauge then is rotated with the wheel to the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o clock positions, noting any differences in measurements. The alignment of the derailleur hanger is accomplished by applying pressure to the tool s arm. The results can be checked instantly. The DAG-2.2 is made of heavy-gauge steel and is chrome plated for long shop life.
The LifeLine Pro Gear Hanger Alignment Tool is designed to check and adjust the alignment of your rear derailleur hanger and solve most shifting problems, especially those with index shifting systems. If you cannot get your gears working 100% then your hanger alignment is most probably the reason and it is the first thing you should check.Threaded end threads into hanger threadsMeasuring pointer checks for parallelism against rear wheel
The Park Tool FFG2 Frame And Fork End Alignment Gauge Set helps to eliminate improperly aligned frame and fork dropouts. Such issues can cause bent axles and quick release skewers, as well as tracking and shifting problems. The updated FFG-2 quickly determines whether dropouts are aligned and parallel. If an error is detected, long handles and comfortable molded grips afford plenty of leverage for straightening. Works on frames and forks with dropout spacing up to 160mm.
The Park Tool FAG2 Frame Alignment Gauge helps solve the problem of many bicycles not shifting or tracking properly. This can be the result of the front and rear wheels not being in line with the frame. If these conditions still exist after wheel and derailleur adjustments, the seat stays, chain stays, and rear drop-outs of the frame may be misaligned. For years the accepted method to check the alignment of the rear drop-out was to run a string on either side. This method does work to some extent. However, it is not accurate because the measurement is not taken at the drop-out. With the Park Tool Frame Alignment Gauge the alignment can be checked quickly and accurately at the drop-out. Retractable pointer to fit all sizes and types of bicycles.
