Review on πŸ”§ Precision Spoke Tension Measurement with the Park Tool TM-1: A Must-Have Tool for Bike Maintenance by Paul Barnes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's a useful tool, but the prices aren't competitive!

It is difficult to recommend a fake domestic blue original instrument. However, as the competition increased, the price of the product increased by 20-40 dollars, and the quality of the tool itself did not impress me. It looked new, but the reading required more verification to get a correct reading of the same spoke than an incorrect one. If it was the other way around and you paid an extra $45-$60 it might have been worth it. Just think of the time it takes to check 1-4 readings instead of 20 per wheelset. Now if you're making multiple wheelsets, that's an extra 10 minutes.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Almost everything ok
