Front wheel
Overhauling the front and rear wheel rim
After you have checked the bearings, check the rims as follows.
Visually inspect the rim for cracks, scoring and deformation; change the rim if damaged.
Insert the wheel shaft in the wheel and mount the shaft on two fixed reference blocks.
Using a dial gauge, measure rim run-out and out-of-round relative to wheel shaft axis (see Sect. C 1.1,
).
If the values measured are not within the limits, change the rim.
Refitting the front wheel
When through with the necessary inspections, refit the wheel as follows.
Grease the inside of the wheel hub.
Grease the wheel shaft (8) thread and shank.
Insert the complete wheel between the fork legs.
