4. REPLACING THE RIM
• Before commencing wheel disassembly operations, write on a piece of paper the original layout of the rim and the
spoke arrangement to ensure that the wheel can be re-assembled correctly.
• Only use new, original Campagnolo
®
spare parts.
• Always prevent the rotation of the spokes when nuts are tightened or loosened. Make sure that no damage is cau-
sed to the surface of the spokes.
• The water discharge hole must be on the side opposite the freewheel.
CAUTION!
Take special care when handling the spokes during assembly to prevent accidentally scratching the rim.
• Using a 5 mm hex wrench, unscrew the nuts on all wheel spokes by one turn (Fig. 4), holding them steady to pre-
vent rotation.
WARNING!
Using wheels that have not been centred properly or which have
broken or damaged spokes may result in accidents, personal injury
or death.
• For each spoke, completely unscrew the nut, remove the pad and slide
the spoke out of the rim.
• Fit the LH wheel spokes first and then the RH wheel spokes.
• The holes for the RH and LH spokes are not aligned but slightly offset
respectively to right and left.
NEVER FIT A LH SPOKE IN A RH HOLE AND VICE VERSA.

WARNING!
Replace the wheel when the distance between the shoulders of the rim is greater than 15.5 mm (Fig. 3). A deformed rim may cause the clincher
tire to suddenly fail, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
