Warning before using the bicycle:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the
components before starting to ride. Before any maintenance
operations on your wheels, always wear gloves and protec-
tion glasses.
• The rims have been made with great dimensional precision.
If fitting a tyre on a rim is too easy, it may be too big and this
will have significant implications for safety. We therefore
recommend using only high quality tyres that require the use
of clincher tyre levers and a reasonable amount of strength to
fit them. Using a tyre that is too big for the rim may cause the
tyre to rupture unexpectedly and cause accidents, physical
injuries or even death. WARNING! Incorrect rim / clincher tyre
coupling may cause it to deflate, burst or detach suddenly
and cause accidents, serious injuries or even death.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tires fitted to your
wheels. Please consult the manufacture of your tires of choice
when inflating your tyres.
• Check that the wheels are firmly anchored to the frame with
the locking item closed in the correct position. If there is
the passing through pin, consult the installation instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the bicycle or fork.
Warning, an incorrect locking may cause the detachment
of the wheel and derive in accidents and serious or fatal
injuries.
• Check the tension of the spokes so as to notice any spokes
which got loose. In the case spokes are loose, contact a quali-
fied mechanic or special personnel to perform the tensioning.
Warning, the use of wheels not centered properly or with
spokes broken and/or loosen or damaged may cause an
accident, serious injury or death.
• Check that the braking system and the brake pads in the brake
calipers are in good state and that the screws on the disc
or the locking ring of the disc, depending on your model, are
properly locked.
• To the users of more than 78 kg weight, Fac Michelin S.r.l.
suggests to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two
months or every 500km.
• If the total weight of your bike and various parts installed
exceeds 108 kg, not used these wheels.
• Never wash the pieces with pressure-fed water because water
may get through the seals and cause permanent damage to
the internal components. We recommend washing components
with a sponge, mild soap, and water.
• Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and neat
the seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike
parts. Carefully rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed
parts to avoid damage, malfunctions and accidents.
• If your component shows signs of rust, this means it has to
be changed URGENTELY as it might be a sign of damage.
