• If the hub bearings are USB or Standard, periodically take the bicycle to a specialised mechanic to have the hub bearings and the balls lubricated with specific grease for bearings.
• Keep the braking surface of the rim and the brake pads free from oil and grease.
• At the end of the lubrication operations, CAREFULLY degrease the braking rim and the brake blocks.
• To maintain the brake pads are in efficient working order and to avoid wear on the sides of the rims, you should remove with a file any residue of sand, debris or foreign objects which
may become embedded in the brake pads, especially during use in the rain.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power of your brakes is greatly reduced and the adherence of the tires to the ground is considerably reduced. Extra care is
required when riding your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid an accident. An accident could result in severe personal injury or death.

most suitable interval of inspections for you on the basis of the conditions of use and intensity of your activities (e.g. racing, rain, salted roads, muddy roads, cyclist’s
weight, etc.).

* The braking rim is micro-engraved to prevent forgeries, but these elements will gradually disappear as the wheel is used. Braking effectiveness and
wheel operation are not affected by the disappearance of the micro-engraving on the braking rim.
