Another High Tech Bicycle Tool
Moderators note: Sorry for the inconvenience, but this post was originally just a link to a site that appears to be one of many scam sites that's popping up targeting customers of small bicycle brands. We can't allow it to stay up on bikeforums.
If you want to see the scam site for some reason, you can make the obvious edits to: tunepart
The actual tune page for it is here: discussing the Linientreu
https://tune.de/en/parts/spare-parts-tools/tools/
People have linked to some videos discussing the tool in this thread.

I think we had discussed this one earlier in the year when it came out. Their stuff is expensive but cool. Though with the discount it is cheaper than my Abbey HAG but serves a slightly different purpose. Would I own one probably not but it is neat to see this sort of stuff come out. Now if someone bought one for me I wouldn't say no...LOL

wait it has lasers....anything with lasers is good right? I saw this on GC Performance site. pretty cool stuff. Not sure if I would pay $200 for it, but I do love the idea. As I say that, I remember that I have some fairly pricey lasers tools in my garage, so....

The tool is suitable for 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11- and 12-speed setups. The Tune Linientreu gets attached by an allen or Torx key on the derailleur mounting bolts. With the aid of the linear laser, the lower and upper stop on the derailleur can be adjusted precisely.
Edit: I found a video showing its use. All it does is help you set your limit screws as well as fine tune your DI2 setup.

That's a disappointment. If it helped straighten your derailleur hanger, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Existing derailleur hanger tools are fiddly bits of annoyance.

i clicked on the link and its discounted from $124 to $74. All my bicycles with RDs are mechanical (cable-shifted) and I don't have a problem adjusting those, so its not useful for me. I looked around at their other offerings and noticed wheelsets that were formerly $400 or more are priced at under $100. That odd having so many products at deep-discount clearance prices.

I’m a bit suspicious of the Tune site in the link. The font doesn’t look right to me. Can anyone verify if it is legit?

Yeah the picture of the Leichtes seatpost on the link is grafted from the Bike24 website in Germany. they have been sold out of most of those seatposts for months now. So the idea of having one of their exotic in demand seatposts in the more desirable (common sizes like 27.2 x330 mm) at clearance prices is more than a bit suspicious.

The domain name is 6 months old (owner ID protected), and the SSL certificate is 7 days old (Let's Encrypt certificate, lasts 4 months--typical).
The IP addresses (plural) are owned by CloudFlare. Maybe in California.
Site seems to be using pretty standard technologies: WooCommerce, WordPress, Google Fonts, Underscore.js, jQuery.
If the site is not legit, somebody sure put a lot of work into making it look legit.

Hard to say, definitively.

Especially since Tunes' actual website is https://tune.de/en/parts/
I've spent a lot of time in the Tune website researching for Weiner Bike SL. The absence of any specs, the too-good-to-be-true prices, the few QR optioned hubs...Oh! & the fact that Tune only sells through it's dealer network (never DTC), was the tip-off for me.
Tuneparts, really? My browser would've auto filled if I had ever been before. Buyer beware...I wonder if they have any $135 wheel sets?
