Truing Mountain Bike Rotors
Where can i purchase Morningstar Drumstix Rotor truing forks for mountain bikes from in the UK?
Can’t seem to find a dealer in the UK who sells Drumstix truing forks for mountain bike rotors. Found some sites in the US however can’t seem to find any UK dealers.
Any help is much appreciated.
Paul Morningstar is a very small supplier, and he offers direct sales through him, so many people don’t stock his products anymore except for maybe the Freehub Buddy. I looked for a bit and found the Drumstix at Cambria Bike for $30USD…..you might actually be able to get them for the same UK price by ordering from the states and paying the shipping…..the conversion is that much in your favor!

Park Tools makes a rotor fork, too, and frankly it’s no better or worse than the Morningstar set. If you need more than one, just get a second tool. It’s not often that you need more than one tool (which is why a crescent/adjustable wrench does really well most of the time)….and it’s not often that a rotor with a serious ding that requires two or three tools to straighten out is even still usable anyway. You could buy a spare rotor and a cheap crescent wrench and almost come out ahead.
Chain Reaction carries the Park tool, as I’m sure most places over there do.

Hope this helps….avoid rocks!

It could of been the brutally bouncy shuttle ride up the side of a mountain, or maybe it was that twenty-yard cartwheel your bike enjoyed into the forest. What ever the case, accurately straighten it with the Park Tool DT-3 Rotor Truing Gauge.Product FeaturesTire Levers: Spoke Wrench: Hub Tool: Cassette Tool: Chain Tool: Headset Tool: Crank Puller: BB Tool: Cabl… |
