• Before proceeding with assembly, check in the technical spe-
cifications on page 3 the type and length of the spoke to be
replaced, the recommended value and the maximum value
which must not be exceeded when tightening the spokes.
• Check that there are no residues of sand or any other foreign
material inside the rim and, if necessary, remove them with a
jet of compressed air.
• Obtain an original Campagnolo
• Always prevent the rotation of the spokes when nuts are
tightened or loosened. Make sure that no damage is caused
to the surface of the spokes.
CAUTION!
Take special care when handling the spokes during assem-
bly to prevent accidentally scratching the rim.
• Using a 5 mm hex wrench, completely unscrew the nut of
the spoke to be replaced (Fig. 8), holding the latter steady
to prevent rotation.
• Remove the nut and the plate, then slide the spoke out of
the rim (Fig. 9).
• Using a stiff blade (such as small knife) positioned as indi-
cated in fig. 10 and taking care not to damage the hub or
the spokes, remove the side covers (A) from the hub.
