5MV-119a - Spoke Tensometer -------------------------------------- https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fiveminu... In this video I take a look at a spoke tension meter that I purchased from Aliexpress. The ZTTO tensometer was very low cost (~£15 inc tax and postage). Here I take a first look at the device and discuss how it operates. In some later videos I will use the spoke tension meter to evaluate some of my own wheel-building skills and some very cheap pre-build wheels. ========================== About the 5MV channel -------------------------------------- My name is Terry and I love cycling. I have named my channel “Five Minute Velo” (5MV). I have called it 5MV because the videos I upload will (mostly) last no longer than five minutes. Each video will cover just one subject that is described in the title. Although the channel is mainly about cycling on the road, I will also cover some light (gravel) off road riding, cycle touring and ebiking. No matter what, much of the advice will be pertinent to many branches of the sport/pastime. I welcome constructive comments that will help me improve the videos that I produce and upload. There may be some dry humour in some of the videos, so dry it may not always be obvious :-). ==================== My Strava profile can be found here:   / strava   Cambridge Cycling Club website: http://www.cambridge-cycling-club.org...
