Custom Spokes Tensioner Meter for the Brompton wheels! Park tool TM1

Another tools modding vid.
I love building wheels for my Brompton, but there isn't a size-fitted spokes tensioner meter on the market that would fit the Brompton wheels. In this video, I decided to take on the challenge of modding an existing Park tool tensioner (TM-1) to work with the smaller Brompton wheels.

Love you all, go Brompton go!
Happy Brompton-ing! See you on the next one.

Hi Petrelli, really good to see you back at making Brompton videos. Cheers.

[@Petrellionwheels]

Thanks for spending time here..... I am just as happy make these small clips.

Even though this is not my favourite topic about Brompton but I feel really enjoy the video. Having a Brompton is not just like owning an ordinary bike, its journey starts when you have a problem with it or even you are trying to upgrade your Brompton. In the meantime, Dashhhh!!

Kevin. You are the man. I got to say you are always the first one here. I really appreciated it man. I don’t think this video is like in anyone’s topic, but rather it is part of my path forward. I guess if I done it in more like a walk and talk blogging style would have been better. Thanks for walking this little step with me man.

@@Petrellionwheels Imho, you are in the right path.. Since I rarely see anyone explain in depth detail about Brompton stuff (I assume not on Brompton manual books too lol). I love my Brompton and I do like watching you video. Hope you will always post a new video regularly and achieve 10K subs soon!!

Nice, informative and enjoyed the segment mate. Keep it going and can’t wait for the next one 😍👍

Excellent! Never thought of this, I will give it a try. I have most well known tension meters except the Park Tool®, now I have to buy one and give this a try. Also, I have a Blackcat Tension Calibrator tool and this will help with the numbers. Thank you very much for the concept, beats plucking.

[@Petrellionwheels]

I think if you are any spare tensioner, this idea should work for it as well. Have fun with it, let me know if my way of thinking really works.... oh man, you are all serious with the Blackcat calibrator.

[@Petrellionwheels]

Not the most popular topic here, but I hope it would do some good. Enjoy.

Hey Petrelli , this tips certainly helpful. I do ran into this problem years ago. But i choose to go with toopre tension meter and since then the bolt is removable n replaced with a long bolt so it can fit into wheels. Hope that help others.

[@Petrellionwheels]

You just put something into my pocket man. Appreciated you watched the video and all the input. Sharing is really caring.

[@bob-ny6kn]

Very good job. Try replacing the three short lugs (5mm) with three long lugs (20mm).

[@c4c3m]

Hi mate, enjoying your video very much, it would be great if you discussing about wheelsets brand, internal/ external, etc.. cheers

[@brightlightdun]

awesome

I'm a newbie to Brompton. Looking to buy one. Are there any toe clips that fit the Brompton pedals? Squashy ones that would lie flat when folded. I can't imaging cycling without toe clips.

Hi, i got a different Question regarding a older Video of Weight Savings. What’s in ur Opinion the Top 10 weight savings for someone, who wants to Fly with his Brompton. Specially if u got a H6RD and u want to travel for 2 Weeks. Thanks 🙂

[@epiworks]

[@binjones]

When are you doing a bee video?

[@guntherguia2303]

What happened to Petrelli? no more videos?

[@jojoey768]

Hi, I got a question regarding to my Brompton recently makes a strange sounds from crank. I have posted a video on my channel. May I seek for your advice on this issue?? Thanks!!!

[@Petrellionwheels]

Thanks for asking Joey. The sound that you got are most likely coming from the broken bearing from the left side pedal or the plastic "spring board" that worn out at the same pedal. If it is from the plastic parts, there aren't much you can do about it. If it is the bearing, you can just pop your existing one out and replace it with a new one. I hope I had answered you.

[@jojoey768]

@@Petrellionwheels Thanks for your reply on my question! I will check on the pedal and hopefully I can remove this “irritating” sounds :)

[@josephd9079]

[@azabazaar]
