ABSTRACT:
A tool for determining bicycle spoke tension consisting of two identical members pivoting in a scissors-like manner upon a screw retained sleeve. The two members are maintained at rest in a juxtaposed position by a spring in the center of the tool. The two members are forced apart and then permitted to close over a spoke. The tool not only grips the spoke, but it also deflects the spoke. A vernier scale is affixed to the tool which allows measuring spoke tension as a function of the amount of deflection.
