Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Excel Takasago Rim is a technical process that should be handled by an experienced mechanic.
- Lacing: Ensure you use spokes that are compatible with the specific hub you are using.
- Truing: The wheel must be trued both vertically and horizontally to prevent wobbling.
- Tensioning: Always follow the manufacturer's torque specifications for spoke nipples to avoid cracking the rim holes.
- Care: Clean the rim with mild soap and water after rides. Avoid harsh acidic cleaners, which can strip the anodized finish. Inspect the rim periodically for any signs of cracks or deep gouges after particularly hard impacts.
