NOTE
Risk of damage to the bladed spokes and the nipples!
• Bladed spokes must be hold with the spoke holder while turning the nipple.
• Whenever possible there should be used the universal spoke holder (see
) to avoid dama-
ges to the spokes. The spoke holder made out of metal (see
) should only be used if the
universal spoke holder can‘t be used due to the high torque.
• There are used different spokes types (see
). Ensure that the correct tool is being used.
• To avoid damages to the spoke, slide the spoke holder as far as possible in direction of the rim.
• To avoid damages to the nipples, slide the nipple wrench as far as possible onto the nipple.
1.
Screw the nipple onto the spoke until the thread
disappears.
2.
Repeat step on all spokes.
Caution: The figure shows a wheel with bladed spo-
kes.
