Bicycle Spoke Tension Meter - Aluminum Alloy This bicycle tension meter is designed for both round spokes and flat spokes across all kinds of finished wheels. Made from aluminum alloy, it is stable, sturdy, and resistant to deformation for long term use. It provides reliable, accurate, and stable measurements to help keep wheels true and safe. Key benefits - Accurate and reliable measurement: accurately measures the absolute tension of each spoke and the relative tension between spokes, helping you balance wheel tension. - Easy to determine replacement needs: correctly measures tension and tension ratios to indicate when spokes should be replaced. - Durable and simple to use: rugged aluminum alloy construction delivers long life; simple design makes operation straightforward for professionals and hobbyists alike. - Wide compatibility: works with nearly any bicycle spoke regardless of diameter, material, or shape. Supports steel, flat, aluminum, titanium spokes and other finishes. Function and performance - This meter serves as a precise indicator for wheel tension management, suitable for wheel manufacturing, correction, diagnosis of wheel problems, and bicycle assembly. - The tool provides clear, reliable readings to guide trueing, maintenance, and repairs, making it a practical addition to any workbench. Specifications and materials - Material: Aluminum alloy - Compatible with round spokes and flat spokes - Suitable for most finished wheels, including MTB and road bike wheels - Supports a range of spoke materials: steel, flat, aluminum, titanium, and other finishes Use scenarios - Wheel building and setup: use during MTB or road bike wheel building to ensure even tension across all spokes for strength and true running. - Wheel maintenance and diagnosis: use after impacts or wheel wobble to diagnose tension imbalances and decide whether spokes need replacement. - Routine repair and assembly: add to your workshop tools to assist with wheel repair, truing, and general bicycle assembly tasks. This tension meter combines a robust aluminum alloy construction with precise measurement capabilities and broad compatibility, making it a dependable tool for professional mechanics and dedicated cyclists alike.
