Short Description: Restore the structural integrity and stability of your wheels with this high-quality spoke and nipple set. Essential for maintaining wheel "trueness" and ensuring safety under the heavy-duty loads of a sidecar motorcycle.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: 73006312, 75006313
• Part Type: Running Gear / Wheel Components

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The spokes and nipples serve as the critical tensioned linkage between the cast aluminum wheel body (hub) and the steel rim. In a heavy-duty vehicle like the Dnepr MT-11, which is designed to carry a total mass of up to 260 kg, the wheels are subjected to immense stress and vibration. Maintaining correct spoke tension is vital for the wheel's geometry and overall rider safety. According to the technical manual, spokes are prone to losing tension, especially during the initial 2,500 km running-in period. A common sign that spokes need adjustment or replacement is a "lower-pitch sound" during a tap test (tapping the spoke with a wrench). If spokes are stretched, corroded, or broken, it can lead to wheel wobble, uneven tyre wear, and potential wheel collapse under load, making a full set replacement necessary to restore factory standards.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact match to factory specifications: Ensures a perfect fit between the aluminum hub and steel rim, maintaining the original wheel radius and alignment.
• Heavy-Duty Durability: Engineered to withstand the specific torsional stresses of a sidecar motorcycle operating on diverse road coatings.
• Restored Handling: Eliminates wheel oscillation, improving the motorcycle's tracking and ensuring the correct toe-in and camber angles are maintained.
