5.
Remove the side shaking. Of course, you have to do
this process with right side spokes only. We will ex-
plain how to fix the side or vertical shaking in the fol-
lowing pages.
And you don't have to worry about the wheel centering
adjustment now, you will do later.
It is very important thing that you cannot touch to the
right side spokes at all after you finished above adjust-
ment process.
6.
Tension the left side spokes and adjust wheel centering.
Rotate the wheel slowly, and tighten the left side nipples
equally by your finger. When the nipples stop, you can
use the spoke wrench.
See the vertical gauge and rim, adjust the left side spoke
tensioning until the rim is in the center of the gauge
scale.
Sometimes remove the wheel from the truing stand, and
put the rim centering gauge onto the wheel to check the
wheel is symmetric.
We explain how to use the rim centering gauge in the
following pages.
7.
Adjust the side shaking again after you finsh the wheel
center adjuting.
Understand that this side shaking was cause by the left
side spokes only, so you should fix it by the left side
spokes only. Do not touch the right side spokes.
8.
Finally, check spoke tensions with a special spoke ten-
sion meter if you need.
HOW TO FIX SIDE SHAKING
The side shaking within 2mm may not cause any
troubles. But if you want to be it zero, you can try
again and again with the following process.
1.
You can see two knob bolts on both side of the U-
shaped gauge frame. Put the tips of them close to the
surface of the rim. Do not touch the rim.
Rotate the wheel slowly, and check the side shaking.
And stick vinyl tapes to two spokes; one is the begin-
ning amd one is in the ending of the side shaking.
2.
Make three groups of these spokes between the vinyl
tales as below;
Group-A : Three or less spokes in the beginning
and in the ending of side shaking.
Group-B : Three or less spokes between Group-
A except for the center one.
Group-C : The center one between the vinyl tapes.
3.
If the rim shakes to the right, tighten the left side
spokes. Do not loosen the right side spokes. Because
the nipples are made by soft material, brass or light
alloy, so its thread can be broken easily by loosening.
