1
Verify the spoke tension by shaking each spoke with your fingers. Spoke should
not be loose from hub. Look for any play between where the spoke flanges attach to
the hub. Try to turn the nipple using your fingers. You should not be able to spin any
nipple by hand. If one or more spokes is loose, all spokes must be checked and need
to be tightened with a spoke wrench.
2
Start with spoke closest to the
tire valve stem and tighten each
nipple, in sequence, exactly 1/4 to
1/2 turn. A single 1/4 to 1/2 turn
may not be enough to bring the
spokes into proper tension. Continue
tightening all spokes, no more than
1/2 turn, in sequence until all spokes
are tight.
Note:
More than a 1/2 turn each
can cause the wheel to become
distorted and wobbly, thus
permanently damaging the wheel.
Spoke Tension
Chain and Sprocket
Proper chain alignment must be maintained. The wheel must not be skewed. If the chain is noisy or running rough, check the
lubrication, tension and alignment of the sprockets, in that order.
WARNING:
Regularly check
the spoke tension and retighten
the spokes whenever loose. If you
have any doubt, ask an experienced
motorcycle or bicycle mechanic to
inspect your spokes to determine if the
spokes need tightening or adjusting.
WARNING:
To avoid a pinch
or injury, keep fingers away from
moving sprockets and chain.
