A purpose-built steel tool for making precise corrections to bent or warped bicycle disc brake rotors.
The Park Tool DT-2.2 Rotor Truing Fork helps straighten disc brake rotors that have developed minor bends from heat, impact, transportation, or regular use. Its updated design features three precision-cut slots to accommodate a wide range of rotor shapes and thicknesses, providing controlled leverage exactly where it is needed.
Best For
- Correcting minor bends in bicycle disc brake rotors
- Eliminating intermittent brake-pad rub caused by a warped rotor
- Home bicycle workshops and professional repair shops
- Mountain, road, gravel, hybrid, and e-bike disc brake systems
- Rotors measuring up to 2.5mm thick
Why We Like It
Even a small bend in a disc brake rotor can produce an irritating scraping sound as it passes through the brake caliper. The DT-2.2 provides a controlled and precise way to correct minor rotor irregularities without touching or contaminating the braking surface with your hands.
We particularly like the updated three-slot design. One long slot and two shorter slots provide multiple engagement points and leverage options, allowing the tool to work with different rotor designs while keeping the adjustment localized to the affected area.
Key Features
- Three Truing Slots: One long slot and two short slots provide several ways to engage the rotor and apply controlled leverage.
- Broad Rotor Compatibility: Designed to accommodate nearly any bicycle disc brake rotor design or thickness up to 2.5mm.
- Controlled Adjustments: Helps apply gentle, localized pressure when correcting minor rotor bends.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Precisely manufactured for strength, durability, and dependable workshop use.
- Comfortable Handle: The vinyl-dipped center section provides a secure and comfortable grip.
- Helps Prevent Contamination: Allows the rotor to be manipulated without handling its braking surface directly.
- Updated Design: Replaces the original Park Tool DT-2 and accommodates thicker rotors than its predecessor.

Important Use Information
Rotor truing should be performed gradually using small adjustments. Identify the affected section of the rotor, move that area outside the brake caliper, and apply only enough pressure to make a minor correction. Recheck the rotor frequently to avoid bending it too far in the opposite direction.
Keep grease, oil, and other contaminants away from the rotor and brake pads. A rotor that is cracked, deeply scored, below its minimum permitted thickness, severely bent, or damaged around its mounting points should be replaced rather than straightened.
Professional Brake Service AvailableUnsure whether your rotor can be straightened or should be replaced? Kickstand Culture can inspect your bicycle’s disc brake system, diagnose the source of brake rub, and recommend the appropriate repair.
