December 5, 20169 yr is there a easy way to check spoke tension. and a cheap tool to check them, as I see there is a very expansive tool on ebay, but cant afford that
December 5, 20169 yr Use a guitar tuner, or a guitar tuner app on a smart phone. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

December 5, 20169 yr To be honest, unless you are totally tone deaf it will be obvious if you have a loose one. Pluck them one at a time. If it's a rear wheel, one side may be higher than t'other, depending on how its built. On a front they should be about the same. Any that are loose will make a distinct 'thunk'. No need to be too precise, you won't be playing it with the Philharmonic. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

I can't play 'Stairway' on my rear unless I de-tune spokes 1, 3 and 5. Then it's close enough for prog. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
