• For every spoke (Fig. 18):
- 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 18.
- check that plates and barrels on the rim 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. 19).
WARNING!
When fitting the wheel, check that the plates remain in position
since an incorrectly positioned plate may caused 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 9:
• Tighten and Settle the Spokes.
• Check centering and wheel dishing.
