Adjustment Of Spokes Tension And Wheels Centering - CAMPAGNOLO PISTA Manuel D'instructions Et D'entretien

• Centering the wheel involves checking and correcting axial (centering)
and radial (roundness) offsets (Fig. 25).
WARNING!
This is one of the most important stages in assembling the wheel.
Incorrect centering or tensioning may damage the wheel or
cause the wheel to unexpectedly fail, resulting in an accident,
personal injury or death.
• To center, place the wheel on a rigid wheel-centering support (A),
lock it by means of the fixing nuts (Fig. 14 - Page 10) and check the
axial and radial offsets using a dial gauge (Fig. 26).
• To correct excessive axial deformation to the left in part of the
wheel, adjust the spoke in the area in question, either by increasing
the tension of the RH spoke or reducing the tension of the LH
spoke.
• Carry out this operation over the whole surface of the wheel, bearing
in mind that the decision to tension or relax the spokes also directly
influences the wheel dishing.
• To correct excessive outwards radial deformation, adjust the pair of
spokes in the area in question by increasing their tension; to correct
excessive inwards radial deformation, adjust the pair of spokes in
the area in question by reducing their tension.
