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