1 Verify the spoke tension by shaking each spoke with your fingers.
Spoke should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between
where the spoke flanges attach to the hub. Try to turn the nipple us-
ing your fingers. You should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If
one or more spokes is loose, all spokes must be checked and need to
be tightened with a spoke wrench.
2 Start with spoke closest to the
tire valve stem and tighten each
nipple, in sequence, exactly 1/4
to 1/2 turn. A single 1/4 to 1/2
turn may not be enough to bring
the spokes into proper tension.
Continue tightening all spokes no
more than 1/2 turn in sequence
until all spokes are tight.
Note: More than a 1/2 turn each
can cause the wheel to become
distorted and wobbly thus perma-
nently damaging the wheel.
