Review on ๐Ÿšด Bike Tension Meter: Spokes Calibration Tool for Bicycle Wheel Spokes Manufacturing or Correction - Includes Bicycle Wire Wheel Set and Mountain Bike Rim Adjustment Tensionmeter by Robert Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very important. in Wheels and accessories

Works as it should. I can't speak for accuracy but it seems close if not exact. If you're looking for something that gives you relative excitement, this is a great value. Looks like an almost identical copy of the "blue" tool and contains the same lookup table. Even the indicator needle, matching nylon washers, calibration spring and adjustment screw appear to be identical. Most likely from the same factory in China. Any experienced wheel builder will tell you that spoke tension sensors are not necessary as you can feel when the tension is correct. However, they give you peace of mind that you don't have improperly tightened spokes that will eventually damage your wheel. I use it in every build.

Pros
  • Wheels and accessories
Cons
  • Difficult to say
