Removing/installing spokes
e Caution:
It is not permitted to replace more than one spoke.
•
Unfasten grub screw (1).
•
Loosen the spoke nipple/remove the spoke.
•
Install new spoke.
•
Center the wheel rim.
X Tightening torque:
Spoke nipple ................................................. 5 Nm
Centering the wheel rim
Max. permissible
lateral/vertical runout.................. 1.3 mm (0.05 in)
Max. horizontal runout which can
be eliminated by centering ......... 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
L Note:
Vertical runout cannot be compensated for by
centering the rim.
Centering lateral runout
•
Determine maximum deviation (plus (+) and mi-
nus (-)).
•
To center the wheel, the spoke nipples must be
tightened on the side directly opposite the larg-
est deviation.
•
Remove grub screw from relevant spoke nipple
before tightening.
•
Working forwards and backwards from the max-
imum and minimum value points, take up slack at
every third spoke nipple.
e Caution:
Never attempt to compensate for the entire horizon-
tal runout at only one or two spokes.
•
At the point where the maximum plus and minus
values occur, take up slack at 2 spokes.
•
Four spokes are therefore tightened during each
centering operation.
•
Check horizontal runout with a dial gauge.
•
After every correction of horizontal runout, check
vertical runout again.
•
If necessary, repeat the centering operation.
•
Lock tightened spokes into place with grub
screws.
X Tightening torque:
Spoke nipple.................................................. 5 Nm
Grub screw .................................................... 1 Nm
