Fitment of bottom bracket cups Evo Max (36x24 tpi ITA
– 1,370x24)
• Check that the bottom bracket threads of your frame are compa-
tible with the cups supplied with the bottom bracket. The measure-
ments and tolerances of the frame bottom bracket shell are found
in the Miche general brochure.
• Carefully check that the bottom bracket shell of your frame has
been correctly milled, so as to ensure correct alignment of the bot-
tom bracket.
Warning: an incorrectly milled bottom bracket shell could
result in premature failure and reduced life span of the
bottom bracket.
• Check the thread of the bottom bracket shell for imperfections
(dirt, burrs, etc), as these could damage the threads of the cups.
• Screw the right cup (A) fully onto the bottom bracket shell (B),
applying a tightening torque of 45-47 Nm (PIC. 1).
• Insert the spacers in the bottom bracket, making sure that the
compensator ring (E) is correctly positioned (PIC. 1). Then, screw
the left cup (C) onto the bottom bracket shell, applying a tightening
torque of 45-47 Nm.
Instructions for the correct assembly and dis-assembly
of the PISTARD crankset
• Insert the spindle of the right crank (D) (Pic. 2) and attach the left
crank (F) (Pic. 3) using an allen 8mm (I) with a hexagonal torque
wrench (G) (Pic. 4) and apply a tightening torque of 45-47 Nm (Pic.
4).
Warning: a loosely tightened crankset could result in ac-
cidents, personal injuries or death.
• Once assembled, check that the crankset turns smoothly and
that there is no play.
• To disassemble the crankset, insert an 8mm allen key (G) (Pic. 4)
in the left crank and turn it anti-clockwise. The screw cap acts as a
remover and the two cranks come apart.
Maintenance of the PISTARD crankset
• Have the chainset periodically checked (every 3 - 4 months) by a
qualified mechanic or specialist, to make sure there are no cracks
or any other signs of wear. Checking is especially important if the
crankset has been hit by something or has been involved in a fall.
Warning: abnormalities in the crankset resulting from
impacts and collisions could lead to accident, personal
injuries or death.
• Control periodically [every 500 km] the tension of the left hand
crank fixing bolts with a suitable quality Torque wrench. [45 to
47nm]
Attention, risk of serious accident and or death, if the
crank fixing bolts where to loosen due to not having been
tighten correctly
• If the crankset should need special maintenance (for example,
gears changed or bottom bracket replaced), contact a qualified
mechanic or specialist who works with genuine MICHE spare
parts.
Attention the PISTARD crankset must be services only
with original MICHE ADVANCED PISTA sparts.
• The female gear attachment is present in the right arm of the
crank [ Fig.5 ] , it is interchangeable, if necessary take off the fe-
male of the crank body, insert a 5mm Allen key and turn Counter-
clockwise.
• Never wash the chainset parts with pressure-fed water, because
water may penetrate the seals and cause permanent damage to
the internal components. We recommend washing the compo-
nents using 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. Care-
fully rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed parts to avoid
damage, malfunctions and accidents.
