Kromski Minstrel Brake Band & Tension Peg Set | Scotch Tension Spares
د.إ40.90
Master your tension with the Kromski Minstrel Brake Band with Peg. This factory-original kit includes the signature hand-turned wooden tension peg and the specialized high-tensile nylon brake cord. Designed specifically for the Minstrel’s tall castle architecture, the tapered friction-fit peg allows for ‘stepless’ micro-adjustments, giving you the absolute precision needed to balance twist and intake for everything from gossamer silk to sturdy plying yarns.
The Anatomy of Perfect Take-Up
In 2026, the Minstrel remains a favorite because it is a “do-it-all” wheel. However, the secret to its versatility in single-drive mode is the Scotch Tension system. This system relies on the friction of the brake band against the bobbin. Over time, nylon cords can become “glazed” (slick), and original pegs can wear down. This set provides a total refresh, ensuring the cord has the right “bite” and the peg has the right “grip.”
“Stepless” Tuning for Technical Spinners
Unlike plastic knobs that force you into indexed “clicks,” the Kromski wooden peg uses a tapered friction-fit. This allows for infinite granularity. As your bobbin fills and its weight changes the physics of the spin, you can nudge the peg by a fraction of a millimeter to compensate. This “stepless” control is what prevents the jerky take-up that often snaps delicate singles on lesser machines.
Authentic Polish Craftsmanship
The Minstrel is an heirloom-quality tool with beautiful turned-wood aesthetics. This replacement peg is crafted from Premium European Alder or Birch and finished to match your wheel’s Clear, Walnut, or Unfinished coat perfectly. It integrates seamlessly into the wheel’s frame, maintaining the classic look while providing modern, reliable performance.
