Spinergy Tilium Service Instructions

These service instructions are intended for bicycle mechanics with prior wheel servicing experience.
These instructions are not intended to be a tutorial on general wheel truing or hub service. If you
do not have the tools listed below or are not comfortable with these instructions, leave it to a pro!
Always inspect the carbon fiber and other components of the wheel for scratches, gouges, dents,
cracking or bends before every ride. Discontinue use of the wheelset and consult a professional
bicycle mechanic if any of these conditions appear.
Tools required, Tilium:
Spinergy small spline tool (FIG 1)
¼" nut driver (FIG 2)
Park TM -1 Tension Meter (Fig 3)
Tools required Xaero carbon SS:
5mm hex nut driver (FIG 2)
"Fourth hand" cable holder (FIG 5)
Park TM-1 Tension Meter (Fig 3)
> Spinergy wheels are hand tensioned and stress relieved before shipping
> Over tensioning will void the warranty.
Due to the flexibility of PBO spokes, they may feel under tensioned when compared to a rigid steel spoke.
If you tension PBO spokes to the point where they feel like steeel spokes, you wil have over-tightened the spoke and
risk damaging the rim. Increasing spoke tension beyond factory values will not improve performance or durability of the
wheel.
