  • I need to true a wheel with bladed spokes, not something I've done before. I'm decent enough at truing wheels but don't know what I'm looking for in a tool to hold the spokes. They seem to range from a few quid for a cheap bit of plastic to about 3 times as much for a fancy version. Is there any benefit to the swankier ones or shall I just get the cheapest one I can find?

  • The one Hunt give out free is fine in my experience, it’s basically a plastic cylinder with slots cut into it

  • I have both a DT Swiss spoke holder and a small bit of wood with a cut in it, made with a narrow sawblade. both hold bladed spokes well.
