I’m about to make another batch of the Frame and Fork alignment gauges I sell here:

I needed a 148 version when I was working with huhncycles on the mega bike.

So, since I’m making new ones, I’m adding 148 to the previous 142 version. Is there anything else people want?

I might be alone, but I’d like to have one for 157.

Is that a Fatbike size?
Yet another MTB standard. I think it came from DH bikes originally. They call it super boost… I like it because I can avoid using a yoke, still can use a 73mm bb, and build a stronger wheel.
157 is what boost would have been if 1x drivetrains had been mainstream a few years earlier. But that’s not what happened so we’ll probably be stuck with 148 for another decade before it finally dies.
And yes, it’s the same flange/disc mount positioning as the old 150x12 dh standard.

I’m still in the programming, tool loading stage. So add 157 in addition to 148?

@hahn_rossman cool tool! I’m going to start a thread about forum member-made/sold tools. I’ll include this one.
I have a suggestion: to avoid feature creep, it might make sense to split the standards. For example:
QR: 100, 120, 130, 135
Thru axle: 100, 110, 142, 148
MTB: 110, 148, 157
