Sestriere wheels: spoke length?

An old wa to stress relieve wheels that I learned was to put the place one end of the rim on the ground and put pressure on the other end, and rotate the wheel until you got all the spokes to go "ping". That's not stress releiving, that's merely taking out the spoke wind-up caused by tightening spoke nipples without backing them off. -- terry morse Palo Alto, CA http://www.terrymorse.com/bike/ |

Sestriere wheels: spoke length?
Thanks, I haven't done that in a long time. A mechanic that showed me
how to build wheels showed me how to do this. It was kind of cool to do it since it made a great sound. I really didn't know what it did to the wheel. After reading Jobst book, I squeeze parallel spokes. I don't know what it does, but I know that my wheels stay true. I really wouldn't know how to do this to a Rolf wheel. I am still waiting for the subtle insult from an eager engineer for my misinformed comment. Andres (Art Harris) wrote in message . com... (AndresMuro) wrote in message ...

That sounds like a way of removing spoke wind-up. Art Harris |

Sestriere wheels: spoke length?
On Sun, 03 Aug 2003 03:29:14 GMT, "Mike Jacoubowsky"
may have said: Thanks Mike. Looking at the decals, I see 2083m. Is that the spoke length??? Both the front as well as the rear wheels use spokes of the same length? As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, those would be pretty long spokes! I didn't get a chance to check at the shop, but I think that zero (in 2083) isn't supposed to be there. And I think there may be a second "m" needed, too. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail. Yes, I have a killfile.
