Description

The principle of the Pre Stresser is to support the rim and put a load on the hub flange. This way the spokes on one side of the wheel will be stretched and on the other side released. The Pre Stresser can pick up any wheel from 24”- 29” and is equipped with a wheel database whereby force and displacement can be stored for each individual wheel. This process results in equalized spoke tension which reduces spoke breakage.
