im liking the m parts key. am i right in thinking that you have to slide it over the nipple from the top as it has 4 sides as opposed to 3 like the park tools one?

The Superstar components ones are nice. Nice bit lever, also in pretty colours.

yeah, they're four sided which is the reason that they're so good IMO. I've built hundreds of wheels with mine.

I like Park. It's pretty subjective tho.

Clubber that's a lot of wheels for a home builder?

M:part spokey pro is even betterer than the standard ones - esp if you've got siezed nipples to deal with. I'm not a fan of the Park ones as they're uncomfortable, and don't stay locked in place when you're hurrying round the wheel to put tension on it.

EDIT: you might find them cheaper under the Rixen Kaul brand. They're the same!

+1 for the Spokey Pro - like a Spokey, but better.

Had my Park set for 15 years + with plenty of use & they still look brand new.

+1 for Spokey spoke key. I've built a couple dozen wheels physically easily and it's still in my possession. A little bit loose sometimes now it's getting on in age, but never slips. Getting ready to do a couple more this week, I luv my Spokey.

I like my pedros, sometimes I just like to hold it. In inception it'd be my totem.. oh, hang on...
