Checking Spoke Tension
1
Verify spoke tension by grasping and shaking each spoke. Spoke
should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flanges
where it mates with hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You
should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If one or more spokes
are loose, or if you can turn any nipple using your fingers, all spokes
must be checked and need to be tightened with a spoke wrench.
2
Start with spoke closest to tire valve
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.
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.
Note:
Tightening each nipple more
than a 1/2 turn each can cause the
wheel to become distorted and
wobbly thus permanently damaging
the wheel.
