Einleitung

When overused or not taken care of, many bikes will have loose and wobbly spokes to the point where it is dangerous to use the bike. I will show you how to tighten loose spokes.

    • Use a spoke wrench to tighten the spoke. Retighten the spoke clockwise a quarter turn at a time.

    • Since you just adjusted the tension of a spoke, we need to make sure the tension in all the spokes is equal throughout.

    • Use the spoke wrench to adjust the rest of the spokes as needed so that they all have equal tension. Turn the spoke wrench clockwise a quarter at a time.

    • Once the spokes are tightened, relieve the tension in the spokes by squeezing them.

    • This is to check that your spokes are now secure and won’t get loose.

    • Be sure to give the loose spokes an extra test to make sure they are now sturdy.

    • Spin the wheel to make sure the spokes are secure and to make sure that the wheel does not need additional truing.
