    guys

    ive just come back from being in sydney,  and ive just put the deluxe up on the lift and now ive found the rear wheel spokes [all of them loose]

    what would cause this to happen?

    i checked my pressures before and during my ride  and all was ok ... i am thinking of changing out the tyres as the dunlops seem to be wearing strangely [both front and rear].

    would my local dealer [ gasonline ally] be able to fix this or should i source out a  wheel pro?

    thanks

    Hi all...Sic-puppy,Tighten them yourself.Just tighten each spoke the same amount.Start with half a turn each spoke.A spoke spanner is cheap as shit.Its normal for spokes to loosen on new bikes.

    just got a ph call from ash, my wheel is ready to be picked up[yea ha]
    as the started to work on it they noticed none of the nipples hold tension[ as they were all fuked up]
    the wheel has new nipples , is true and ready to go.
    some new tyres tommorrow and im riding again

    Great news Sic - puppy ... if it`s not to personal can you pass on what Ash charged for the job ... just always good to know certain costs of jobs like the one you had done .
