Question

True or False? On a demountable rim system, heel-less clamps can bottom out at 80% of the recommended torque.

Answer 1

This condition is permissible but not required. If the gap between the clamp and the surface of the spoke exceeds 1/4" or bottoms out before reaching 80% of the recom- mended torque, check to insure that the proper clamps and spacer band are being used.

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

The reason for this is because it means that you must have no more than 1/4 an inch of a gap between the heel and the face of the cast spoke but it can be smaller.
