CHECKING THE REAR WHEEL
WARNING
Check the condition of all components, and in
particular of the following:
BEARINGS
Manually rotate race (1) making sure it turns smoothly
and silently.
There should be no axial plays.
Any bearings showing the above defects must be
replaced.
RIM
Using a comparator, check that radial runout (A) and
axial runout (B) of rim (1) do not exceed the pre-
scribed limit.
Excessive runout is generally due to a reduction in
spoke tension.
If, after the spokes have been tensioned, the runout
still exceeds the limit, replace rim (1) and the spokes.
Maximum radial and axial runout: 1.2 mm (0.047
in).
TYRE
Check the condition of the tyre and, if necessary, that
of the inner tube.
REFITTING THE REAR WHEEL
Read through the section PRECAUTIONS AND
GENERAL INFORMATION.
WARNING
Danger of personal injury! Do not insert the fin-
gers to align the holes.
Shift the wheel against the frame slotted holes.
Tighten the two nuts (1) with the proper torque.
Levering derailleur (3) as shown in the figure, reposi-
tion chain (4) on sprocket wheel (5).
