from the top and push it down as far as it will go. Apply some
lubricant to the treads of the five cap screws and insert them
with their flat washers (picture bottom right). Tighten them in
sequence, half a turn at a time, so that the two rim halves are
pulled together evenly. Tighten the cap screws to about 10
Nm, but take care that the rim does not rotate relative to the
tyre, as this will damage the valve.
4.5.6 Inflate the tyre to about 200 kPa and then tighten the 5 cap
screws to about 20 Newton-meter (200 lbf-inch). To prevent
damage to the Alan drive cap screw heads, use only a good
quality chrome vanadium Alan key and make sure that it is at all
times inserted to the full depth of the socket in the cap screw
head.
4.5.7 Inflate the tire to its full pressure and make sure that the shaft is
free to rotate in its bearings. If not, tap the shaft in an axial
direction with a soft hammer. Take care not to damage the
screw thread.
