Any of you guys know where I can get a Park TM-1 tension meter online?
I found one for 54.95 USD....
That's about right, I got one at excelsports I think for that cost.. also bikepartsetc has it for about the same.

Park Tools website (http://www.parktool.com/where_to_buy/nationalretailers.shtml) has a list of both national retailers(ie. mail order and web merchants) and local bike shops that sell their goods.
Nashbar has the tension meter you want. So do other retailers.

I probably will order it from my shop, I was just looking around on the net. I always get the sense that my boss is pissed when I order stuff.
Is there any other tension meter in the same relative price range worth looking at?
Nashbar has it $55 and don't forget the 10% off code TKM4

I have both the park and the wheelsmith, I like the park for quick tune ups but i generally use the wheelsmith to build a wheel, I like the feel of it better and I think it's easier to deal with, it may just be because it's the one i've always used and I just need to get used to the feel of the park., I wheelsmith cost just about 100.00 dollars, twice as much as the park.
