I'm going to treat myself to a new spoke tensiometer and have a choice of digital or analogue DTI.
I only build for myself and a few friends, it's not something I do professionally, but I do like nice tools and keeping bikes tiptop.
I've no plans to record spoke tension with a software pedal, happy to do that manually if I choose.
Digital is quicker and easier to read but analogue doesn't need batteries which might be safer if not used for months at a timeÂ
Any thoughts?
I always go analogue for this type of tool precisely due to the battery issue. Had a digital vernier caliper bloody thing burned through batteries and was never functional when I needed it. The only thing that fails on the analogue one is my eyes to read the graduations. 😊
Thanks. As a 50th birthday gift to myself, the eye thing is one that worries me.
