Warning
If you have any doubt whatsoever your service-repair ability, please
take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
Before any maintenance operations on your wheels, always wear
gloves and protection glasses.
Use only spokes and nipples of the same length and characteristics
of those to be replaced.
Use original spare parts exclusively provided by Fac di Michelin.
To replace a spoke on the 977 is extremely easy in both cases, front as
well as rear wheels.
• Unscrew the spoke from the nipples with the corresponding span-
ner.
• Once it has been unscrewed, slide off the spoke from its own seat.
• Insert the new spoke.
• Screw nipple with washer.
Draw the spoke to be used for the replacement in the thread-locker
you chose to improve sealing.
To ensure the correct spoke tension please follow the indications be-
low:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel (disc side) 1000N
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side 1300N
To evaluate the correct wheel tension, please use a professional spoke
tension gauge, we do not recommend that spoke tension is estimated
manually; please refer to a professional cycle mechanic if you do not
own a professional spoke tension gauge. The correct spoke tension is
essential to ensure a ridged and durable wheelset.
ATTENTION in correct spoke tension, too high or too low, could lead
to wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal accident.
