Central London spoke tension meter loan?

DougL

Big ask, I know, but does anyone in Central London/City/East had a spoke tension tool that I could borrow for the weekend?

(I am SW London, so not much help unless you get desperate).

Do you mean a spoke key (i.e. to add/take away tension) or a spoke tension meter (to measure the tension)?

Tension meter! It seems pricey to buy one for the very occasional use I'll be putting it to! OP edited to clarify...

Strictly speaking the term is tensiometer. A tool to measure the tension in the spokes when building a wheel.

Yeah, but they're American and can't speak proper English. Just because they call it a tension meter doesn't mean it isn't a tensiometer.
