• For every spoke (Fig. 6):
- insert the new spoke in the hole in the new rim;
- fit the plate on the spoke, keeping the concave part facing
outwards and position it in the special groove on the rim;
when fitting a spoke on the LH side of the wheel, the long side
of the plate must face leftwards and vice versa, as illustrated
in figure 5.
- check that plates and barrels on the hub remain in position,
then tighten the nut.
Attention
After completing the operation, check that the flat spoke
(aero) is oriented in an aerodynamic position (Fig. 7).
WARNING!
When fitting the wheel, check that the plates remain in position
since an incorrectly positioned plate may cause irreparable
damage to the profile of the rim when tensioning the spokes.
This damage could cause the rim to unexpectedly fail, resulting
in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Perform these operations for all spokes.
• Following the operations described in Section 5 of the
"Owner's Manual - PART 1":
- Tighten and Settle the Spokes;
- Check centering and wheel dishing.
WARNING!
Rim wears out with use. Check wear status, especially on the
braking track on the side of the rim, regularly and replace
when worn. A worn out rim may suddenly and unexpectedly
fail resulting in an accident, personal injuries or death.
