  It's Prime International so no $0 delivery until your international cart is above $49.
  Delivery is $8.88 for me.

  edit: Just re-read the title and got it, sorry! :)

  if you use this too much, do you have to then teach your bike relaxation techniques?

  I have been maintaining and building bikes for 20 years during which time I have installed countless cables, and never even knew that such a contraption existed

    agree, probably handy for doing cable pull brakes but not a tool I think is mandatory!

      Not required for brakes, but handy for putting tension on gear cables if you insist on not running Di2.

    Same here! Yet the advert calls it "Indispensable" - haha.

    video explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FhrDcQwOzc

    If you worked in a bike shop, I guess the tool is worth having. But I've never thought it was a difficult job without it.

  Pushys have the Super B cable tensioner, which is just a rebranded version of the Draper tensioner for $19.99 plus postage
  They've also got another 15% off right now which makes it $16.99 plus postage (free if you spend over $50)

    No free shipping hack with Pushys though.

      Hack?

    • 

      sp0rk on 28/01/2022 - 12:28

      buy some tyres or new grips with the 15% off and you'll be over the $50 free postage

    If not in a hurry, just wait for free shipping deals, or when your order is more than $99.

    Currently they have 15% discount until to night.

      Looks like they have free shipping again right now

  I have a Lifeline version of this (from Wiggle), fantastic tool that has saved so much frustration!

      Oh, so it's really a cable holder rather than doing any stretching.

      Can see how it can be useful but it's not necessary.

      Seems like a pair of regular vice grips / locking pliers could already do basically the same thing
