Spokes check and tightening
The following procedure applies to all spokes of both
wheels.
– Check that the spokes are not broken or deformed, if they
are, they must be replaced;

screwdriver. A well tightened spoke will emit a light, tinkling
tone, while a loose one will emit a deaf tone. In the case of a loose
