Mezzer Fork [Hub/Dropout] Facing Tool

This tool allows you to safely deck the hub mating faces on the Mezzer fork lowers. From my testing, decking these surfaces just until the paint is removed provides the lowest sliding friction. This suggests that Manitou fixtures the lowers to cut the bushing bores before they are painted.

It doesn't look like much in the photo, but this is a very precise, 2-piece assembly that will ensure clean geometry of your dropouts.

Simply install the tool by flexing the lowers apart and aligning it within the axle bores. Then allow the lowers to clamp against the tool. Ensure the conic side stays fixed as you rotate the sanding side. After a few revolutions, open the lowers slightly and blow out the dust with compressed air. Continue working and inspecting the face until the paint is only just removed. Then switch sides.
