SCAR Spoke Wrench Kit Black

SCAR offers this spoke wrench. The spoke wrench tightens the small threaded nipples that hold each spoke in the rim, to keep the wheel round and properly tensioned.

Why a proper spoke wrench?

The benefits:

• A grip of the right size that tightens the nipple without rounding it off, unlike pliers.
• Multi-size models or those with bits fit several nipple sizes, from one bike to another.
• A quick check before every ride, in the garage or at the track.

Why choose SCAR?

SCAR, a French brand from Brittany: plugs and screws machined from solid anodised aluminium, built to last.

When should you replace this part?

Replace it if it has developed play or its jaws are worn: it would round off the spoke nipples.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Color: Black
• Main shaft is CNC precision machined from aluminium
• Interchangeable tips to fit 8 sizes of spoke nipples
• Manufacturer part number: SSWK

Cross-Mania tip: Tap each spoke with the wrench to find the loose ones (they sound duller than the others), then tighten them a quarter turn at a time, in a criss-cross pattern, checking that the rim stays true.

Compatibility

Choose the same size as the original tyre: it is moulded on the sidewall of your current tyre and given in the bike's manual.
