About
I like the outdoors, mountain biking in particular. I run a MTB coaching & guiding business & offer a quality wheel-building service. Most of my ebay activity is purchases but I have a good feedback record for sales too. Quality over price.

Good if used correctly
these work well if you follow instructions. For small adjustments in length where you have some thread left, it will pick up easy, assuming the adjustment nut is adjusted correctly. Where there's no thread at all, you are supposed to grind a taper onto the spoke for it to pick up. Mine's lasted 5 or so years so far like this and makes original quality thread.

These work really well, BUT...
So, if you are shortening a spoke by a smaller amount and you still have some thread left, this will pick up the original thread and extend it no problem.
However, if you're cutting spokes down by enough to get rid of the original thread, you need to grind a slight taper onto the end. It will then pick up fine.
Remember that the pro machines that don't need this step cost a few thousand!
