Checkin spoke tension
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in
secondary damage.
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes
is too low, then lateral and radial run-out will form in the wheel. Other spokes will become looser as a
result.
-
Check spoke tension regularly, and in particular on a new vehicle.

spokes of equal length and diameter, this is an indica­
tion of different spoke tensions.
