crashbanggg Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 After riding my bike for a few hours, it would appear that a lot of spokes in the rear wheel were loose. I tightened them up the best I could by hand but have no idea if this is usual on a new wheel, I just assume its the spokes 'wearing in'...? Now im back home with a spoke key, what sort of tension should the spokes be at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 this is perfectly normal for a new wheel its just the spokes wearing in yeah, just keep checking them every couple of rides tighten them up as much as is needed really not mega tight so you round the nipple just so its all nice and stiff and there's no creeking noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
