I was rather hoping to avoid having to buy a tension gauge. I notice Loos & Co. (Cableware?) has two series: One consisting of the 9x-model A/B and the other being the "PT" series. I see prices for the PT series in the $100 - $150 range. Haven't found any prices for the 9x-model A/B gauges. Also see references on Loos' site about a "standard" gauge, but find nothing else about it. I'm going to guess the "economy" gauges are less expensive. Question is: Are they accurate and repeatable? I've seen comments on-line and elsewhere to suggest that (some?) wire tension gauges are not.
Talked to PO about this yesterday. He's as mystified as I over that one lower shroud becoming that loose. He also said he never used tension gauges. Said his experience was the readings were too inconsistent to be of use, in his opinion.
