Sapim spoke tension meter
Leave feedback on the product
Original translation:
Original Sapim tension meter. In professional wheel building, ergonomics are extremely important. The key is that the lever has the correct length, the right thickness, and that the spring is not too stiff. Otherwise, after thousands of measurements, the hand/wrist hurts so much that further work becomes very difficult. This is why branded tension meters are so expensive. Build quality and the precision of the gauge are essential. A tension meter is not something you should save money on. I know this because I have already used several models and ultimately ended up with a custom tension meter that is perfectly matched to the size of my hand:

The meter is factory-calibrated and supplied with a calibration card.
On request, additional calibration for selected spokes (Berd, carbon, titanium, etc.) is included in the price of the meter.
