Description
Quickly replace a broken spoke without fear of the spoke nipple falling into the rim. Allows for replacing the spoke without pulling the tire or rim tape.
This is now also available in three sizes - the original 3.2mm for use with quality spoke nipples like DT and Sapim, the larger 3.45mm which is found on cheaper spokes, and 3.8mm for 13g spokes which are increasingly common on ebikes. The size is marked on the backside of the tool without the decimal point, so "320" for 3.2mm, "345" for 3.45mm and "380" for 3.8mm.
I also suggest getting it in a contrasting color. I will note that the Park color for the SW-0/3.2mm size is black, but I think that this small thing in black is easy to lose, so you might not want to stick with Park's color scheme.
Recently featured on the "Wheels to Wander" bikepacking tool video on YouTube.
Collaboration with Wheelworks NZ - I've had several folks ask me if I could make something similar and instead of knocking off the original, I contacted Wheelworks and got permission to sell their design. I've made a couple minor updates to the design, but it remains essentially unchanged from the brilliant original! My changes include a thumbwheel for the screw as well as a small magnet to hold it in place on the truing stand or any steel surface.
