A “Twist Resist” spoke clamp tool holds the spoke during the truing process, which ensures that the spokes do not twist when tightening the spoke nipples. Failure to use this tool leads to the spokes twisting or winding up, which in turn lead to the wheel coming out of true (spokes untwisting) on your first ride. Using this tool is a key in the proper maintenance of your wheels. Please see the HELP tab of this web site under wheel truing for a detailed description and photo of this tool.
