• Before proceeding with assembly, check in the technical specifica-
tions 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 mate-
rial inside the rim and, if necessary, remove them with a jet of com-
pressed air.
• Obtain a new 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 assembly to
prevent accidentally scratching the rim.
• Using a 5 mm hex wrench, completely unscrew the nut of the spoke
to be replaced (Fig. 12), holding the latter steady to prevent rotation.
• Remove the nut and plate, then slide the spoke out of the rim (Fig. 13).
• Using a stiff blade (such as small knife) positioned as indicated in
Fig. 14 and taking care not to damage the hub or the spokes,
remove the side covers (A) from the hub.
