[. . . ] SECOND SETTING Turn over the wheel to assemble another side before inserting spokes. As STEP:3, insert the spokes from inside to every second hub spoke holes. In this time, you should make sure that these spoke holes are half pitch left to the other side holes. -7- 8. You will not be able to finish this process with slanted wheel installation. We will explain how to use the wheel truing stand in the following pages. Rotate the wheel slowly, and tighten the nipples, which are connected to the drive side of the hub flange, equally by your finger until these nipples are tight. You should make sure that you don't tension all spokes completely, because you will have to tension the other side spokes later. After you finish this work, check the vertical shaking of the wheel first. You can ignore the shaking within 3mm now, it is just a habit of the rim. But if the vertical shaking will be appeared more than 6mm, you may not use this wheel in a race to prevent accidents. In offset wheel, the torque works only to the right side spokes. Because right side spokes should be assembled more vertically than left side. So you should understand that right side spoke tension is more important than left side spoke's one in this offset assembling. Well adjusted right side spokes can keep your wheel stable in the future. Left side spoke tension is just a help. § TENSION RIGHT SIDE SPOKES At first, you have to take care of right side spokes only. Left side spokes will be adjusted after this process, so now you don't have to worry about them. -9- 5. We will explain how to fix the side or vertical shaking in the following 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 adjustment process. Rotate the wheel slowly, and tighten the left side nipples equally by your finger. 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. Adjust the side shaking again after you finsh the wheel center adjuting. [. . . ] You should use the following process so as not to break the joint system. Pull to separate the right and left frames in the direction of front and behind. The joint is made by plastic so it may be broken easily with forceful operation. Open the frames widely, and push down to the surface of the table to keep its both plastic brackets will be parallel. [. . . ]
