Spoke tension is the one wheel-building number you can't judge reliably by feel, and Pillar's 50mm tensiometer turns it into a clear reading instead. It covers wheel sizes from 80mm to 280mm, so it works across road, gravel, MTB and eBike wheels.

Highlights

  • Reads spoke tension across 80mm to 280mm wheel sizes
  • Suits both standard bicycle wheels and eBike wheels
  • Precision dial for a consistent, repeatable reading spoke to spoke
  • Compact enough for the truing stand or a travel kit

Why tension matters

Even tension around a wheel keeps it true and round under load, and stops individual spokes fatiguing and breaking early. A tensiometer lets a builder check every spoke against the same number instead of relying on feel alone.

Compatibility & fit

Suits round-section spokes on standard and eBike wheels within the 80mm to 280mm size range this tool is calibrated for. Tune's wheel-building service tensions and checks every hand-built wheel as part of the build.
