鋼線扭扳並不是用在編新框的正圓校正, 而是在已正圓的狀態下逐一將各螺栓鎖緊到
相同扭力值;
下面文章是使用一隻扭力設定為 48 in-lb 的鋼線扭力扳手, 所以校起框來相當輕鬆
理論上以扭力值鎖緊後的整個輪框是正圓, 但實際上多少還是有點失圓, 還是要以
校正台再校正過;
It is very important to only turn your nipples a half of a revolution, or two
flats at a time on a newly laced wheel. If you find yourself having to turn
more than a half of a turn go to the next spoke in the pattern, and gradually
bring the nipples up to torque by working the pattern. Once you have all your
spokes close to the torque range this will no longer be necessary. If you turn
the nipple more than 180 degrees to bring it up to torque you will pull the
offset of the wheel off to one side or the other.
1. Start at the spoke next to the rim lock. Call it spoke #1
2. Back off spoke #1 until it turns freely, then tighten until spoke torque
wrench clicks. Go to spoke #4 - repeat step #2. It will come from the other
side of the wheel.
3. Go to spoke #7 - repeat step #2.
4. Go to spoke #10 - repeat step #2.
5. Continue around the wheel torquing every third spoke, until coming back to
spoke #1 (on a 36-spoke wheel). Move to spoke #2 and repeat step #2.
6. Go to spoke #5, then #8, then #11, continuing this pattern all the way back
to spoke #2.
7. Move to #3 and use the same procedure on spokes #6, #9, #12 and so on around
the wheel.
8. It will take 3 revolutions of the wheel to complete the torquing process.
You will torque 12 spokes per revolution.
9. To avoid having the nipples seizing on the spoke it's a good idea to pull
the spoke nipples off one at a time and fill them with waterproof grease.
While you have the grease out, use it to fill in the void behind the wheel
seals to protect the wheel bearings.
實際使用狀況是, 可從氣嘴左側這根鋼線算 #1, 先旋鬆再鎖緊至扭力值, 然後跳到
第四根鋼線, 再來是第七根.....
也就是 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34;
接著從氣嘴右側這根鋼線算 #2;
也就是 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35;
最後從氣嘴右側鋼線的下一根鋼線算 #3;
也就是 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36;
這樣鎖緊 36 根鋼線後, 輪子也轉了三圈; 也可以再用扭扳檢查所有鋼線的鎖緊扭力
( 需依上述順序檢查 ) 如此輪框在九成的狀況下皆為正圓, 其餘的狀況可能為:
1. 鋼線/螺栓鏽蝕故扭力不正確 ( 校正前可用恐龍 191 等先行滲透潤滑 )
2. 鋼線/輪框不良
3. 扭扳失準
倒不一定要單買此扭扳, 有 3/8" 驅動頭扭扳的人可以考慮買一款 spokehead tool
搭配之後就可以自行調整扭力值來鎖緊鋼線, 不過用起來不會比單一功能的鋼線扭扳
來得順手;
