Bearing adjustment / spoke tensioning
My new wheels from Decathlon are really nice.
However the rear one was making a squeaking noise, which I'm sure is coming from the hub. It seems to have cured itself now after a 40 mile ride on Saturday. I'd like to do a good job on getting the bearing adjustment right. Also on tensioning up the spokes - without resulting in pretzel shaped wheels. Anyone got good pointers on either? I am aware of Sheldon Brown. |
