spoke thread tool??

(1/4) > >>

dwain dibbly:
is there a tool available to cut the threads onto spokes?
ive just laced a set of 24" ukai's but the spokes havent tightened
enough on the rear wheel? i just thought adding a little more threads
would solve the problem  :)

gossa:
Bargain.  :LolLolLolLol: Actually this really is a marvel of engineering!

SaMAlex:
I was going to say, make sure the spokes dont end up being too long. There is usually enough thread for a spoke nipple so cutting more would mean you'd need to cut it down.

Anyway, that tool will take care of that too. But it MIGHT cost less to get a new set of shorter spokes
