Nowhere to be found in my service manual for my 1996 Adventurer. Can someone tell me spoke nipple size, which one and where to get a spoke wrench, and the spoke nipple torque settings?

thanks!

There is no specific torque setting since it varies with the spoke tension.

If you have loose spokes, take it to a bike shop that does adjustment and truing.

I'd very strongly recommend that you find a shop who can fix things before you attempt it yourself.

I don't think adjusting spokes or wheel truing is so mystical or difficult. Pulling carbs and cleaning/rebuilding/reinstalling/adjusting/synching them is a very complicated process that is not for all people yet it is regularly discussed here. I am just asking for nipple size, suggestions for a good spoke wrench and torque settings. If there are no torque settings, fine. I just asked about them because someone else in a much earlier post had inquired about them.
