Descriptions

The RISK RL271 / RL272 Bladed Spoke Holder Tool is designed to hold aero or flat bladed spokes in place during wheel building, truing, or spoke tension adjustment.

When adjusting spoke nipples, flat spokes can twist easily. This tool helps stabilize the bladed spoke body and reduces spoke rotation, making wheel adjustment more accurate and controlled.

Two sizes are available for different bladed spoke thicknesses: RL271 for 0.8–1.0mm spokes and RL272 for 1.0–1.3mm spokes. Please choose the correct model according to the actual thickness of your bladed spokes.

This tool is used only for holding bladed spokes. Please use a proper spoke nipple wrench for wheel tension adjustment.
