I wonder why they are all reading different values? Poetic licence?

Get a set of Morgan Carbtunes. Buy direct from the makers and they aren't expensive. I've had a set for about ten years and they are good

I've got a set of those Busters ones and they do the job ok. Had them for around 4 years now, they haven't broken and seem to give reasonably accurate results as long as you take your time with them.

I can't view the link as I'm at work but if they're the same as these
http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk.../On-Two-Wheels
then they're crap, get Morgan or Davida instead. Obviously you only need a pair for a twin, but you can balance a 4 with a pair anyway by doing a quick bit of swapping around.

Good morning all.


They're about as much use as an elastic ruler! As said, go for a set of Morgan Carbtunes.


Cheers.
