Product Information
Full details
The Park Tool BSH-4 Bladed Spoke Holder is an essential tool for professional mechanics and dedicated home enthusiasts who work on modern wheelsets featuring aerodynamic bladed spokes. Its primary benefit is the ability to securely grip a spoke to prevent unwanted rotation or twisting during tensioning and truing. While it is highly versatile, users should note that it is purpose-built strictly for bladed spokes and is not intended for use with standard round-gauge spokes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the BSH-4, simply test which of the four slots provides the most secure fit for your specific spoke blade width. Ensure the tool is seated fully onto the blade before applying torque with your spoke wrench. For maintenance, keep the tool clean of grease and debris to ensure the slots remain tight and the grip stays secure. Store the tool in a dry, organized environment to prevent oxidation and to keep it ready for your next wheel truing session. No specific complex setup is required, as the tool is ready to use immediately out of the packaging.
