Park Tool Bicycle Spoke Wrench Set - SW-0, SW-1, SW-2, & SW-3

Pricey but you get what you paid for.

Nice quality and fit. The design makes it easy to use with one hand.

Let me first say that I'm not a professional bike mechanic, but I enjoy doing what I can do on my own. I am also a bit of a tool nerd and like having the right tools for the job and not buying junk only to replace them with a proper tool later on. I can't always justify spending more just because the tool has some blue color and says "Park" somewhere on it. However, when it comes time work on something as sensitive and expensive as your bike wheels, I chose to use what the pros use. Wheels can easily be the most expensive component on your bike, so I prefer quality tools when working on my wheels. I have no need for all of the sizes that came in this pack, but if I come across a bike that needs a different size, then I will already have it. The wrenches themselves have tight tolerances and are designed for turning your spoke nipples, unlike a crescent wrench or needle nose pliers. If you need to tighten a spoke or two, do yourself a favor and spend a couple bucks to pick up the proper spoke wrench for the job. It will easily save you money when compared to having to replace the spoke and nipples just because you rounded off the nipple and can't tighten it. If you're a do-it-youselfer like me, grab a set of these and call it a day.

Good quality and work great. These are up to the high standard that I've come to expect from Park Tools. I haven't found anything better in bicycle tools.

I've been on a journey with a 2003 GT Palomar. I didn't care for how it rode, fit or shifted when it was given to me new in 2004. So after a few short rides it was put in shed. When it saw daylight for a ride in 2013, it was hit on the rear wheel by a car. The wheel was bent so badly that I was barely able to limp it home with the V-brakes removed and pads released. Then it went back in the shed. In 2021, it saw daylight again as I was going to junk it. The cost of a wheel straightening, or new wheel didn't seem justified on a 20 year old $230 bicycle. But, it had less than 100 miles on it and seemed to be comparable with some new bikes in the $500 and up range. So I cleaned it up and figured I'd try to fix and sell it. Although I've been around bicycles for 40 plus years and have completely disassembled them to individual bearings and races... I never had the nerve to tackle wheel truing. But, after watching a few video's on You Tube I figured I'd try to save the wheel myself. As I did not know what spoke size the wheel had, I purchased this set. Turns out the Red wrench fit the bent wheel spokes of the Alex Y2000 and the Green wrench fits my 2006 Cannondale. So, it was win/win. The wrenches are sturdy, comfortable and easily adjust spoke tension. If you are a truing newbie like me and choose to take on a bent rim, watch some videos (Park Tool has excellent ones). If the rim is actually bent like mine was, I loosened all the spokes on both sides of the rim and tried to correct the the bend (as much as I could) with pressure. I supported my wheel on two small sections of 2x4, leaving the high spots unsupported. Then pushed down on the high spots, like doing a pushup and even stepping on them, to straighten the rim as best as I could. Then I gradually used the spoke tension to dial it in. Be advised, it will take time and you will probably screw up as I did. I made two mistakes. First, I pulled the wheel "off center" and could not lock my v-brakes back in. It turns out, that although the wheel was straighter than it had ever been, it was 1/4" or so too far to the right and off center. I solved this by gradually loosening the right spokes and tightening the left spokes until it was centered. Then, on my test ride I then learned that while the wheel was straight, I had made it "out of round" which caused the bike to ride like it had an out of balance tire on a car. After watching some more specific wheel straightening video's and using zip ties on the the bike frame and forks as guides, both wheels are now straighter and spin better than when new. Take your time and be prepared to make a few mistakes and correct them. Just know that when you get your wheels rolling truer than they ever were, it's a great feeling. The bonus is you probably won't have to do it again. But if you do, you will have the tools and experience. As for my GT, it got a full tear down and service before I was going to put it up for sale. I also watched video's to learn how to adjust and tune the V-brakes and indexed shifting. On the test ride, it was smoother and quieter and performed better than anything I'd ever ridden before. At that point, I figured no one would pay what I felt this 20 year old, 26" wheel bike was worth. The bike also had a Chrome Moly frame that I prefer over the ride of the newer aluminum frames. So, I decided to try to try to make it fit me instead of selling it. This led to upgrades. In the end, the Old GT got a new seat post, shifters, brake pads, handlebars, hand grips, heavy duty wheels with cassette giving better gearing for the way I ride, as well as pedals, Rock Shox Fork and Shimano Crankset. Basically, the frame, stem, rear derailleur, V brakes and seat are the only original parts left. While the upgrades cost $400 or so, it was far less than if I bought new and tried to make a new one fit and perform the way this one does. It just took some time and education. After I got into some sort of riding shape, the bike is built for the way I ride and the roads I ride. These include relatively easy off road trails as well as rolling hill back roads. When the GT goes out, I can easily do 10-30 plus mile road/trail rides smoothly and comfortably as I adjusted the gearing. At 55, I will give out before the GT will. If you are thinking about giving up your old bike for a new one, you may want to watch some video's before you head to the bike shop/internet/Big Box store, with your money for a new one. This one was like new and headed to the junk pile because I didn't care for how it fit or rode...Now, it's not a 29" and may be a little heavier, but it would be comparable to a $1.000-2,000 bike, I'd have to upgrade to make it like this one. Hope this helps and Ride Safe.

The best spoke wrenches; well-fitting and ergonomic. I ordered the set of four to help reduce packaging, and because the Amazon web site won't tell you the sizes of the individual wrenches. I was disappointed to find that I was sent four separate wrenches, each individually packaged in one of those two-layer cardboard display mounts with the plastic glued irremovably between the cardboard layer. It tool me longer to remove the wrenches from the packages than to true the wheel! For reference, the sizes are shown in the photo.

I found the correct size for my wheels. They fit in my hand very comfortably. Well thought out design. Exactly what one expects from Park Tools

Very good tools. I am happy with them
