  • I think the spoke wrenchs on your tool is are the 3 gaps between the chain holders on the chain tool part of it.

    Look really cunty to use - for when you're stuck out in the waps with a fucked wheel not for routine truing.

    No, it's the 2 nipple-sized gaps on the tyre lever part of the tool, as alluded to by the OP.

    they really are a pile of shit those lever for truing spokes, rounds nipples so easily, i would advise against it, in fact i believe that thats the only shitty tool on the hexus

  • Emergency use only.

  • yeh i suppose. .

  • Well I'm glad to hear the level spoke wrench bit is a pain, now I don't feel as bad for losing the lever. But I wonder if you could get a replacement for the tool? (doubt)

    I'll just stick with buying a proper spoke wrench, any recommendations on the types of what's best to use?

  • I'm no IT security consultant but registering your government name with initial as a forum ID is probably not a great idea?

    Is it really? no one even says that about my username.

  • Oh really? I always actually read your ALIAS as edscoble, all one word. =)

    Anyhoo, finally managed to get a spoke wrench, had a look at the bugger and realised one of the spokes were broke at the hub flange. It was very well hidden and somehow stayed in place...

    Anyway, had a spare old wheel, took a spoke off, replaced it. Went over it with my Sharpie Marker to make it black :P

    Then spent a considerable ammount of time truing the wheel.

    I feel quite proud of myself because this was my first time. Yay....

    I reckon I am safe. There must be thousands of joe smiths.
