Wheels and tyres
It is essential that all spokes are evenly tensioned in order for the wheel
to run properly true. The tension of individual spokes can change if
obstacles such as kerb edges are ridden over too quickly or if a spoke
nipple becomes loose. The true running of the wheel and the stability of
the rim are reduced if individual spokes are no longer under tension or
damaged.

Wear limit
Depending on the bicycle model, indentations are imprinted in the
rims to indicate the wear limit. The wear limit has been reached
when the indentation is no longer perceptible.

Checking and adjusting the spokes
1. Press the spokes together with your thumbs and finger and
check that the tension is equal on all spokes.
•
If the tension varies or if spokes are loose, ask your special-
ist dealer to tauten the spokes.
Alternatively, you can stroke a wooden or plastic baton over the
spokes and listen for differences in sound.
13.1.2.2
Checking the wear limit or replacing the
rims
1.
Check whether the rims of your bicycle have indentations to
indicate the wear limit (see Fig. “Rims” ).
2.
If the rims of your bicycle do have indentations, check to see
if the wear limit has been reached.
3. Stroke a finger nail or a toothpick over the indentation in a
vertical direction.
• Do not use the bicycle if you cannot feel the indentation;
there is a risk of breakage .
• Ask your specialist dealer to replace the wheel rims.
