SPOKE NIPPLE AND
BEAD STOPPER NUT
Check the tension to verify the
tightness of the spoke nipples.
The tension of the spokes can be
checked by squeezing the spokes
with your fingers. If a spoke nipple
is loose, the spoke will bend more
than the others.
Retighten the spoke nipples with
a spoke nipple wrench so as all
spokes have same tension.

Spoke nipple (rear wheel):
6.0 N·m (0.61 kgf-m, 4.45 lbf-ft)
Inspect the bead stopper nut 1
for tightness.
