Review on Goabroa Spoke Wrench: A Durable 8-Way Bike Rim Truing Tool for Precise Bicycle Wheel Tension Adjustment by Vivek Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This spoke wrench did it.

I have a hybrid bike that is about 5 years old. I bought it from Sports Authority for about $200. From time to time I had to take him to the trek and fix tires. It was at least $20. I think I managed to ruin the tire this time by attaching it to a bike rack. Anyway, it looked pretty bad. I decided to try and fix it myself as the bike was so old. I looked at a few YouTube videos and then found the "cheapest" multi-tool here. It came quickly and two of the six slots were marked "14" and matched my spoke nipples perfectly. I found the bulge with a dry erase marker (you can use a pencil). You then rotate those nipples a very small amount. In my case, the middle one made 1/2 turn, the next two made 1/4 turn in the opposite direction. then 1/8 on the next two. This wrench has a knurled edge for a good grip and is made of HARD metal. I had no trouble setting up this bike and the wrench is small and light enough to fit right in my bike bag. I recommend it for the initial setup. It's an economical tool that just works. This is perfect for keeping your own bike in order.
