Hozan Spoke Threader

Very high quality product, worked exactly like it should. Saved me lots of money by making my own spokes for Bmx wheels instead of buying them.

Out of the box, after a practice spoke I was able to thread 4 stainless replacement spokes for a wheel set with minimal fuss. Threads looked as good as factory threads, and the DT swiss brass nipples seemed to fit the threads well. I did have an issue with a couple spokes getting caught in the die, after it failed to start and I had to fuss with the die a little. I think I solved that, and have a couple theories why it happened. It takes me about a minute or so to cut, and thread a spoke. Perfect for replacing a couple broken spokes and I bought my Hozan knowing it excels at this. For an entire wheel I would rather order custom spokes, or have them made at a local shop that has a $4000 Morizumi threader that can crank them out super fast. Overall I am happy because I can now stock high quality bulk spokes in 310mm lengths, and make what I need. Trying to keep a good assortment of replacement spokes on hand even was becoming a lost cause. Now I can keep about 4 styles of spoke and cover just about everything I see. Instructions are in Japanese, but you can find all you need to know from you tube and I was still able to figure out some useful details from the instructions like how the scale fore depth is graduated in 3mm increments.

I was not initially stoked on the idea of the price of this tool... however, after getting it an using it, I understand that there are not many competitors out there and I was looking to save money over the long run. This will definitely save me money and I already fixed 4 different bike wheels with this one purchase. Know in advance that the directions are in Japanese, but they do have pictures to go with it. You can also find videos online on how to use it pretty easily. Does a great job cutting the threads for the spokes and would definitely recommend for a DIYer or someone who wants to work on your bikes independently.

You may have to adjust the die, if it’s too loose, threads will be too shallow & nipple will be too tight. But if die is too tight, threads will be too deep and nipple will also be too tight. So you may have to tighten or loosen die a quarter turn at a time until nipples thread on with finger pressure. But once setup this thing works perfectly! I would also recommend lubing all the moving parts when you get it.

does exactly what it's supposed to do ... have threaded 72 spokes for lacing 2 wheels and thread rolling tool has functioned well

Excelente

I run a small bike repair shop. This threader is perfect when I need an odd size. It's super easy to use. Makes perfect threads every time.

I first purchased the Cyclo spoke threader. It was hard to use and finicky. It had plastic on one of the most important parts. Just overall sub-par quality. The Hozan is so much better! First, the threads are perfect no issue with rolling. The device is well made and is all metal. The roller needs to be oiled more than you think but it does a great job. Overall I'm glad I baught this. Cost more but is hands down a better product than the Cyclo.

Perfettamente funzionante e preciso dopo anni d'utilizzo. Anche un'ottima restenza alla ruggine.

Better than older version. Could be delivered with some kind of rolling oil for durability.

fiyati yuksek gelebilir ama harika bir urun.

Ecxelente producto, Japón nunca falla.

I liked the tool👍But—-I am still wondering why the sent me two and charged my card for both of them.😏I used the second one as a present to my son that is into bikes.The one I kept was to rebuild my old trike.The bike shops in my community will not service.
