thanks, but I`m sure that info is not in the F1 workshop manual.
Btw numerous manuals for download on that side are or were downloadeble for free on the Ducati homepage (or somewhere else on the web).

Remembering, that those Marvic rims are 16" and also hard to find anymore tires to those. I had possibility some years ago to buy such pair ,but i realized, that tire problem and i give up that modification... Cant remember anymore details, sorry. :smoke:

Hi Jon, They get loose before they crack. The nuts are only 11 ftlbs. If you over torque them they break the mag spoke. Have saved a few with industril alm adhesive. you have to disassemble rim from spokes and get the adhesive totaly in the joint assemble and true before the glue sets up. If you run those wheels keep a close eye on them. If the alm to mag joint wears a little they are hard to repair after that.
