follows:
FRONT HUB
The front hub does not require any particular maintenance.
For any extraordinary maintenance and replacement of bea-
rings, follow these simple steps:
• Extract the cage chamber (B) (Fig. 1)
Once the chamber successfully removed proceed replacing the
bearings.
• Apply light pressure to the axel (C) using a plastic-edged tool:
apply pressure until the bearing has been totally removed
from its housing including the axel (Pic. 2)
• Once the first bearing has been removed, using special 17mm
diameter extractor, you can then remove the second bearing
(Pic. 2)
Once these have been replaced, proceed in fitting the new
bearings:
• Fit the first bearing using a plastic-edged tool: apply pres-
sure until the soft pad is perfectly fitted within the housing
• Insert the axel (C)
• Centre the second bearing in line with the axel and fit it using
a push bearing that is big enough to contain the axel itself
(B).
• Insert the chamber on the axel (Pic. 3)
• Check that the wheel turns freely

To replace a spoke on the K1 EVO is extremely easy in both
cases, front as well as rear wheels.
• Unscrew the nipples from the spoke with the corresponding
spanner.
• Once it has been unscrewed, slide off the spoke from its own
seat.

Draw the spoke to be used for the replacement in the thread-
locker you chose to improve sealing.
To ensure the correct spoke tension please follow the indi-
cations below:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel 1000 N
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side 1300 N
To evaluate the correct wheel tension, please use a profes-
sional spoke tension gauge, we do not recommend that spoke
tension is estimated manually; please refer to a professional
