- Durable finish: hard-anodized surface treatment resists fading and wear for long-term use, keeping scale markings and the tool appearance stable over time. - Accurate spoke tension measurement: designed to determine spoke tension reliably, helping you verify and balance spoke forces during wheel build and maintenance. - Broad compatibility: works with flat spokes and a variety of finished wheels, making it suitable for most common bicycle wheel types. - Calibrated reference: use the included spoke-tension comparison table to translate gauge readings into exact tension values — the table corresponds directly to the gauge measurement for consistent results. - Mechanical dial design: the mechanical disc/dial display makes readings easier to see and reduces user error; the design improves measurement accuracy and convenience during repeated checks. Practical applications - Wheel building: confirm target spoke tension during assembly to achieve balanced, true wheels. - Workshop maintenance: quickly check and document spoke tension during routine bike servicing and wheel truing. - Field checks by cyclists: portable and simple to use for spot-checking wheel tension before rides or after impacts. What this solves - Eliminates guesswork when setting or verifying spoke tension - Reduces rework by providing clear, repeatable readings - Supports both professional shops and home mechanics with a durable, easy-to-read tool Key attributes at a glance - Finish: hard anodized surface (wear- and fade-resistant) - Function: measures spoke tension - Compatibility: flat spokes and various finished wheels - Readout type: mechanical disc/dial for clear, accurate readings - Reference: corresponds to a spoke-tension comparison table for exact tension values
