Checking Spoke Tension
1
Verify spoke tension by grasping and shaking each spoke. Spoke
should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flanges
where it mates with hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You
should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If one or more spokes
are loose, or if you can turn any nipple using your fingers, all spokes
must be checked and need to be tightened with a spoke tightener.
2
Start with spoke closest to tire
valve 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 in sequence, no more than
1/2 turn until all spokes are tight.
WARNING:
Regularly check
the spoke tension and retighten
the spokes whenever loose. If you
have any doubt, ask an experienced
motorcycle or bicycle mechanic to
inspect your spokes to determine
if the spokes need tightening or
adjusting.
Note:
Tightening each nipple more
than a 1/2 turn each can cause the
wheel to become distorted and
wobbly, thus permanently damaging
the wheel.
