Well built tool in Spoke Tools

It looks like a very well made tool. The body is made of anodized aluminum. I think the black font offers more contrast compared to the orange color. The Park tool, which it is modeled after, has a mark engraved/stamped on it. It would be nice to see too. Although the tool is very similar to the Park TM-1 tool, the conversion tables differ significantly so reading 35 on a 2.3mm butted spoke will not give the same kgf reading as a similar tension meter. For this purpose it would be good if the Lebycle website was in English and a copy of the conversion table was provided in pdf format for download. Also, it would be very helpful to provide the conversion chart on a laminated card rather than just a copy on an 8x10 sheet of paper. Without a conversion chart, your best bet is to make sure the spoke tension matches itself, but you can't build the wheel to exact tolerances. Exactly, I'd say it's a decent tool. If you have aluminum sheet or round, titanium sheet or round, spinergic or other specialty spokes, this tension meter will give you measurements, but the included conversion chart will not give you any conversions applicable to your spokes.

Pros

Cons
