3.10.6.2 Replacing/Retrofitting a Spoke Protector

Spoke protectors can be mounted to rear wheels with hollow rims. The spoke protectors are mounted with snap

fasteners (attachment nipples).

1) Remove the rear wheels.

2) If present: Press out the attachment nipples from the worn spoke protector from the inside, e.g. with the

handle of a hammer (see Fig. 83).

3) Remove and replace the spoke protector.

4) Position the spoke protector on the rim so that it is centred and you can see a spoke beneath each of the six

bore holes.

5) From the outside, press in the attachment nipples until you hear them lock in place on the spokes. INFORMA

TION: INFORMATION: In some cases, assembly with screws is required (see Fig. 84). Please refer to

the information given in the spare parts catalogue.

Tensioning the Spokes

1) Completely remove the tyre (see Fig. 82).

2) Check the spokes' tension by shaking/moving the spokes.

3) If necessary, carefully adjust the tension of the spokes with spoke tensioner.

4) Completely reinstall the tyre.

Adjusting the Out-of-Round

Adjusting the out-of-round by a maximum of 1 mm requires special instruments and technical knowledge. The

adjustment should be performed in a bicycle specialist workshop.

The quick-release axle (see Fig. 85) should be adjusted so that it engages properly and so that the wheel has no

play on the axle.

1) Hold the tip of the quick-release axle with a wrench (size 11).

2) Adjust the play by turning the nut on the end of the quick-release axle (size 19; see Fig. 85, item 1) in or out.
