Got a big round milti-spoke key thing big lump of metal, which is fine for tightening spokes n all. But I don’t like it. So, what’s a good nice simple one, now I seem to be twiddling my spokes more n more and taking wheels to bits? must be something nice n simple so not much cash?

get a red spokey pro – for DT spokes

and a yellow spokey pro – for stock wheel spokes.

thatll cover most of what you come across for about 10 pounds and not round the heads off – plus its comfy in the hand when your building wheels for days on end 😀

Spokey

Spokey Pro

Easy to hold and grips the nipple on 3 sides rather than 2 for good fit and less rounding

The type mentioned here

ahh, spot on! that’s the thing. STW is so much easier than Google. Cheers guys 🙂

I’ve got a triangular park tools one that’s bit bit rubbish as it rounds off the nipples….. Got a Spokey and its much better.
Only gets used occasionally for tweaking though.

Spokey 1 red and 1 yellow.

Round-handled Park one, or Cyclepro ripoff… I don’t like the grip of the Spokey Pro, good price though.
