Wheels 

57 

Handling instructions 

Spokes 

The spokes of the wheels connect the rim to 
the hub. They transmit the braking power of 
the disc brakes, and in addition they transmit 
the pedal forces at the rear wheel. 

The tricycle requires a high spoke tension 
(> 1000 N) as the wheels have to bear high 
side loads. Any damaged spokes must be re-
placed immediately. 
 

 

Attention!

 To true up the 

wheels you need special skills, please have 

this work done by an experienced bicycle 
mechanic. 

 

 

Danger!

 Take care that your 

spokes are always in perfect condition and 
the spoke tension is balanced. Do not ride 
with wheels that run untrue or wheels 
with loose or missing spokes. These faults 
may lead to a total failure of the wheel 
while braking and result in a serious fall!
