The Cycle Workshop
17 luglio 2026
The best way to get your perfect dream bike is to build it yourself. You get to choose the exact spec you want, at the price you want to pay.
However, doing it that way comes with some risks. Chief of which is when you find you need a ridiculously expensive tool to finish the job. And one of the worst culprits is the Disc Mount Facing Tool.
So in this video, I take a look at a brand new Disc Brake Mount Facing Tool from China, and put it to the test.

Bike Disc Brake Mount Facing Tool Kit 100/142mm Axle Bicycle Frame Brake Tab Alignment Tool for MTB Road Bike fit carbon frames
Creato: 17 luglio 2026Il recensore parla di un kit economico per la fresatura dei supporti dei freni a disco proveniente dalla Cina, al prezzo di £50, che utilizza un disco abrasivo invece di una testa di taglio e affronta entrambi i supporti contemporaneamente. Ne dimostra l'uso su un telaio di bicicletta, notando che risolve efficacemente i problemi di sfregamento dei freni causati da supporti irregolari. Lo strumento è destinato a bici moderne da strada e gravel con assi anteriori da 100mm e posteriori da 142mm.
Riepilogo IA
Pros
- Conveniente a £50 rispetto agli strumenti tradizionali che costano oltre £400
- Utilizza un disco abrasivo, riducendo il rischio di rimuovere troppo materiale
- Affronta entrambi i supporti simultaneamente, garantendo risultati uniformi
- Non richiede fluidi da taglio o affilatura
- Il meccanismo a molla applica una pressione costante
- Funziona bene per i tipici supporti a montaggio rialzato
Cons
- Potrebbe avere difficoltà con montaggi a filo o quasi a filo (ad esempio, alcune forcelle)
- Progettato specificamente per bici moderne da strada/gravel con assi da 100/142mm, limitando la compatibilità

Creato: 17 luglio 2026Il recensore parla di un utensile per la rettifica dei supporti dei freni a disco di un produttore cinese, che costa £50 e utilizza un disco abrasivo invece di una testa di taglio. È progettato per bici da strada e gravel moderne con assi da 100mm anteriori e 142mm posteriori. L'utensile rettifica entrambi i supporti contemporaneamente e utilizza una molla per applicare pressione, riducendo il rischio di rettifica eccessiva. Il recensore ne dimostra l'uso su un supporto posteriore del freno a disco e ottiene un freno silenzioso dopo la rettifica.
Riepilogo IA
Pros
- Costa solo £50, molto più economico degli strumenti esistenti oltre £400.
- Utilizza un disco abrasivo anziché una testa di taglio, riducendo il rischio di esagerare.
- Rettifica entrambi i supporti contemporaneamente per risultati uniformi.
- Nessuna necessità di fluidi da taglio specializzati o affilatura utensili.
- La molla applica pressione, quindi l'utente non applica forza.
- Può essere girato in entrambi i sensi.
- Efficace: dopo l'uso, il freno a disco funziona in silenzio.
Cons
- Potrebbe avere difficoltà su forcelle in cui il supporto è quasi a filo.
- Mirato al mercato moderno di bici da strada e gravel (assi 100mm/142mm), non a tutti i tipi di bici.
- Richiede un attento allineamento e controllo per evitare di rimuovere troppo materiale.
