Project Bike Tech’s Post

Project Bike Tech students at Rehoboth Christian High School are learning how to use the Park Tool Tension App! The Wheel Tension App is a web-based tool for use with the Park Tool TM-1 Spoke Tension Meter. It was created in collaboration with Dr. Julie Howat and Dr. Colin S. Howat. The first section provides a table which converts TM-1 readings to kgf values for a selected spoke, including non-standard steel sizes not listed in the TM-1 Tension Meter Conversion Table. The second section is a Wheel Tension Balancing app, which helps the user achieve consistent overall wheel tension by analyzing and visualizing spoke tension. Balancing the relative tension produces a better quality wheel and is useful in diagnosing potential rim and wheel damage.
