• Insert the new spoke (H - Fig. 15) in the hole in the hub.
• Fit the plate on the spoke, keeping the concave part facing
outwards and position it in the special groove on the rim;
when fitting a spoke on the LH side of the wheel, the long
side of the plate must face leftwards and vice versa, as
illustrated in figure 16.
• Tighten the nut.
WARNING!
When fitting the wheel, check that the plates remain in posi-
tion since an incorrectly positioned plate may cause irrepa-
rable damage to the profile of the rim when tensioning the
spokes. This damage could cause the rim to unexpectedly
fail, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Refit the hub, performing disassembly operations in reverse
order.
Attention
When inserting the axle, be careful not to move the ball
bearings out of their seats.
Attention
After completing the operation, check that the flat spoke
(aero) is oriented in an aerodynamic position (Fig. 7 - Page
7).
• Following the operations described in Section 5 of the
"Owner's Manual - PART 1":
- Tighten and Settle the Spokes;
- Check centering and wheel dishing.
• After having replaced the spoke and tensioned and cen-
tered the wheel, adjust the hub (see section 7).
