Warning

Info
The tone frequency depends on the length of the spoke and the spoke diam-
eter.
If you hear different tone frequencies from different spokes of equal length
and diameter, this is an indication of different spoke tensions.
You should hear a high note.
» If the spoke tension varies:
– Correct the spoke tension.
– Check the spoke torque.
