How to Tighten Spokes on Your Mountain Bike: A Comprehensive Guide
To tighten spokes on a mountain bike, use a spoke wrench to turn the spoke nipples clockwise. Turn each nipple a quarter turn at a time, starting with the loosest spokes, until the wheel is true and all spokes have an even tension. Check the trueness of the wheel by spinning it and observing any wobbles or dips. Repeat the process on the other side of the wheel if necessary.
