CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE
1. Measure:
• Tire pressure
Out of specification
→
Adjust.
• Check the tire while it is cold.
• Loose bead stoppers allow the tire to
slip off its position on the rim when
the tire pressure is low.
• A tilted tire valve stem indicates that
the tire slips off its position on the rim.
• If the tire valve stem is found tilted,
the tire is considered to be slipping off
its position. Correct the tire position.
CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE
SPOKES
The following procedure applies to all
of the spokes.
1. Check:
• Spokes
Bend/damage

Tap the spokes with a screw-
driver.
A tight spoke will emit a clear, ringing
tone; a loose spoke will sound flat.

(with a spoke nipple wrench "1")
Be sure to retighten these spokes be-
fore and after break-in.
