【KITACO】Combination Spoke Wrench Set Review
Kitaco Spoke Wrench
I bought this Kitaco spoke wrench tool with intention of tightening the spokes on my 1987 TW200.TDub front and rear spoke nipples needed size is 5mm.This spoke wrench has 6 sizes.Number #3 slot direct fit for the TDub OEM spoke nipples.This tool was able to tighten the spokes on both wheels.. The wrench is pretty easy to use,little heavy but lightweight and very easy to carry on.Four years back I purchased Dachi stainless steel spokes set from webike for the front wheel of my bike.Dachi made spoke nipples a tiny bit differently than factory spokes set and So I can Use Number #6 slot Instead of Number #3 slot. if you are a do it your-selfer like me this tool works just fine.anyone want to lace brand new spokes into a wheel or plan on loosely snugging up all the spokes before having the wheel trued,this spoke wrench might do the trick.I also get enough leverage since I'm only tweaking the spoke a half to a quarter turn at a time.I think this wrench well made of quality steel.when you touch this product you can feel it.this time took only 3days to received the package after dispatch from japan.Exceptional Service.Thanks A lot WEBIKE.Highly Recommended !!!

Regular Spoke Tension Checks.
It's been 2 years since I bought an OffRoad racer called KLX230R. I compete in the G650 XCOUNTRYRace once or twice a year, and sometimes go on Course runs. And I noticed that the Rear Spoke is off by 1 pc and quite a few of them are loose. I bought a Spoke wrench, which fits my KLX230R. It seems to be rigid and I think it will be fine to use in the future. View detail
simple is the best
Used for Rim assembly of Spoke wheel.
I assembled Stainless Spoke and Wide Rim on SR400's Rear wheel.
In the beginning, I was turning with Driver from the head of Nipple, but it is difficult to multiply Torque appropriately.
In this respect, the Spoke wrench can be turned firmly.
Also, after the tires are assembled, they cannot be retightened no matter how hard we try.
Especially in my case, I have installed OUTEX's Tube Eliminate Kit, so even with Tire removed Timing can no longer Access to Nipple's head.
If you ride a Motorcycle with Spoke wheel, I think it is essential equipment.
It is also easy to use.
Even and odd numbered Nipples with Both Sides can be used for Nipples of various numbered Nipples.
Perhaps not just CUBs, but MopedSize thin nipples to Big bike and Motocrosser thick nipples can also be used.
Unless you have an abnormal NippleSize, you can handle it with just one of these, so in a sense, it will last a lifetime.
It is not expensive, but it is small and not used often, so I would like to be careful not to lose it.

Must-have for regular spoke maintenance
Checking and tightening your spokes is important yet frequently neglected. Throw this in your cart and check the spokes before every ride for your safety and the longevity of your wheels.Finally caught these in stock. There is a reason for this demand. It fits any spoke you may have without having to change tips..a great tool for your toolbox. works pretty well and is small enough to keep in your pack.not as good as designated sized spoke tools, but it works and is well built.

Quantity:It says "Set" but it is 1 pc.
[How is it used?
I purchased this for SpokeMaintenance on my SEROW225.
A friend of mine told me how convenient it was.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The Image is a good size and is more massive than I had expected. It is a good size that fits comfortably in your hand.
How was your experience with it?
It's 1 pc and supports MultiSize. 'Um, how many millimeters is this?' Checks like this are unnecessary.
The work is well done because the Size is heavy and comfortable in the hand.
And when I checked the condition of the Spoke, it turned out to be quite damaged. It is time to replace it....
[Points to note]
Because of the multi size, if the angle to the spoke edge gapes a little, the top of one size can be used. If this happens, a strong stress will be applied to the edge of the spike, which may cause the spike to be snagged. Make sure that the size of the spike is properly matched before you work on it.
The product Title is Wrench set." but it is 1 pc.
How did it compare to other products?

It can be used in a variety of sizes and is small, so it doesn't take up too much space in the tool box, which is great!

Not particularly.
