25 AND 26.-WHEELS AND SPOKES
The spokes should be ti ghtened evenly and can not have play, the rim would be
o ff -centered and other spokes would su ff er and may break.
Centering the wheel
Put a dial on the side of the rim (1) and spin the wheel to measure the axial
centering.
Turn the dial on the inside of the circumference of the wheel (2), spin the wheel
and the di ff erence between the highest amount and the lowest is the centering.
If you are slightly o ff set can be corrected by ti ghtening or loosening some
spokes with the spoke wrench (3). If the rim is bent or curved must be replaced.
NOTE: A welded area on the rim may show an excessive o ff set. Ignore when
measuring the centering
