Review on πŸ“ Yellow 12.5-Inch Aluminum Measuring Wheel (Ft/In) by Rolatape RT312 by Onsommoshit Mathews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not good! I have been using measuring wheels for 30 years.

Bad! I've been using gauge wheels on a weekly basis for the past 30 years. The old Rolatape wheels were good products and lasted 2-3 years before the meter broke. This bike is a different story. The telescoping aluminum bar with cam locking arms is a very poor design. Very quickly, one of the lockers came loose so much that the wheel could no longer be held on the ground under any pressure. I had to seal the joint with tape, rendering the telescopic structure useless. It's also very bulky and heavy compared to the old thin design. Another faulty "new" design just to be new but of much lower quality.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
