Spoke Adjustment 2000miles after initial lacing?
« on: June 07, 2014, 08:32:06 AM »
Is this normal? My spokes are somewhat loose after about 2000 miles. I adjusted them all and now they are fine.

Sure. Especially if they have been ridden over rough pavement, were newly laced on old rims, or on thin walled steel rims.

Many people don't pay enough attention to their spokes regularly.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Yes, I try to check everything fairly regularly. Thanks for the reply.
