Have a loose spoke opn my Anthem 0 - Mavic Crossmax SL UST wheelset.
I have the adjusting tool but no manual on how to adjust the spokes. I have ride tomorrow so are trying to do this soon. Any help appreciated.

are you trying to true the wheel? Or just tighten some loose spokes?
You need the right tool. It should have come with the wheels.

Let me guess: the shop didn't give you the mavic spoke wrench which came with the bike.

With the spoke pointing down counter clockwise should tighten it. If it gets looser try the other way.
I wouldn't try just tigtening spokes without trueing the wheel.
If you don't have a truing stand use the bike and attach a zip tie to the frame as a gauge.

if you are going to try to true the wheel only tighten the spokes by 1/4 to 1/8 rotations at a time because a little adjustment does a lot on those wheels.

Are the nipples on the hubs or inside the rimstrip?
