Check your ConesCone Spanners
Loose hub cones are a common cause of wheel rattles. You can easily check for loose cones by simply holding the top of your wheel and trying to move it from side to side. If the rim moves and the hub axle doesn't, then it’s likely that the cones are loose. You can double check by taking the wheel out and trying to wobble the axle - you'll be able to feel any looseness.
Cones are very narrow and you’ll need a thin cone spanner to tighten them. The Cyclo range includes several such spanners, in a variety of sizes.
• 2.5mm chrome vanadium for durability and strength
• Cushioned handles for comfort
Tough TorqueTorque Wrench
Today's bikes may be tough, but they're held together by fasteners that mustn't be stressed. Many parts come with recommended torque settings – breach these and you may void your warranty.
Torque wrenches – such as those produced by Cyclo – can ensure that nuts are tightened in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation avoiding undue mechanical stress and distortion.
