NOTICE
Risk of damaging the bladed spokes and the nipples!
• Bladed spokes must be hold with the spoke holder while turning the nipple.
• Whenever possible there should be used the universal spoke holder (see
chap. 5.2, page 36 ) to avoid da-
mages to the spokes. The spoke holder made out of metal (see chap. 5.2, page 36 ) should only be used
if the universal spoke holder can‘t be used due to the high torque.
• There are used different spokes types (see chap. 6.1, page 61 ). Ensure that the correct tool is being
used.
• To avoid damages to the spoke, slide the spoke holder as far as possible in direction of the rim.
• To avoid damages to the nipples, slide the nipple wrench as far as possible onto the nipple.
