I feel cheated. Years ago I built my own with a piece of threaded rod, a piece of wood, a knob, etc. Now you can buy one at a reasonable price. It sure beats a knob, doesn't it?
Well, it looks cool, but I gotta ask. It seems if you have a riser block installed, this crank might end up being too high to comfortably reach? Especially if you are putting on a lot of tension? Tippy toes, anyone? I could be wrong, though.

I just installed the riser block. The tension crank is at the top of my comfortable reach, but still within reach. I'm by no means a tall guy (lower side of average height).
