Cleaned it.
Not sparkling, polished clean but more of an " oh it's that colour" clean.

5mm long allen and 6NM torque are your friends. Ball head helps with access.
::026:: I've tried the torque wrench and it just feels a bit too much for me on that alum rim. I prefer pinging and tightening accordingly.Brick said:I realize this is probably really great advice and I have those tools but I've now put on 116,000 miles on the two Tenere' that I've owned without doing that. Reading other horror stories about spokes on Tenere' I just hate to change my method now. Pinging with a small wrench and adjusting by sound has worked for me so far.
I think if you are planning on using a torque wrench, buy a carbon fibre bicycle torque wrench, small handle, and 2-6nm max range, only a suggestion!Brick said:I realize this is probably really great advice and I have those tools but I've now put on 116,000 miles on the two Tenere' that I've owned without doing that.

Sorry Silvergoose, I meant for Carbon fibre bikes, rather than a wrench made from CB. Here's a link of what I'm talking about..silvergoose said:DogDaze, I have found two brands of spoke torque wrenches, neither are carbon fiber. o you have a name or web site?
Great suggestion,BTW, saves mistakes.
Good Luck
