Einleitung

Have you lost or broken a wheel spoke? This guide will show you how to replace it.

  1. Zv2AcRGgOXcvEwJT

    • Using the 4mm Allen wrench, partially unscrew the 4 (22mm) hex screws on the front of the axle casing to allow the axle to slide freely.

    • Using the 8mm Allen wrench, loosen the axle screw until 1/2 of the axle screw is visible.

    • Push the axle screw to reveal the axle rod on the other side.

  3. QUAqqfYHwHWBYbIM

    • Using the Allen wrench, finish unscrewing the axle screw and pull it out.

    • Hold the wheel when pulling out the axle rod so that the bike does not fall.

    • Insert one tire lever between the tire and the rim.

    • Push down on the tire lever until the edge of the tire is higher than the edge of the rim.

    • Insert a second tire lever next to the first.

    • Slowly slide one tire lever around the rim until the tire is released from the rim.

  7. RXpXCAKOQ5P1ZwrN

    • Using your hand, pull the tube completely out of the tire.

  8. UmhZM2qvCP6reXGX

    • Use an 8mm Allen wrench to unscrew the 6 (4x10mm) screws on the brake rotor.

    • Pull brake rotors off both sides of the wheel.

    Anything is possible for bike fasteners but disc brake rotors are most commonly bolted down with T-25 torx, not Allen. When reattaching disc rotor bolts bolts should be installed in a cross pattern (like drawing a star). Additionally you should refer to manufacturer specs for torque specs to tighten the bolts. Usually ~6NM for SRAM, ~4NM for Shimano.
