Warning before using the bicycle it is necessary to:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the compo-
nents before starting to ride.
• The rims have been made with great dimensional precision. If
ENGLISH
fitting a tyre on a rim is too easy, it may be too big and this
will have significant implications for safety. We therefore re-
commend 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 tyres fitted to your Mi-
che wheels.
Pressure must not exceed the limit of 8 bar and
116 psi signed behind valve hole.
The inflating pressure of the
tyres must NOT exceed the LOWER pressure level between the
maximum pressure stated by the tyre manufacturer.
Excessive tire pressure reduces the grip of the tire on the road and
increases the risk that the tire will unexpectedly burst.
Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance and
increases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire
pressure. In addition, premature damage to the rim may occur.
Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure or loss of control
of the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Check the tension of the spokes so as to notice any spokes
which got loose. In the case spokes are loose, contact a qua-
lified mechanic or special personnel to perform the tensioning.
ATTENTION, the use of wheels not centered properly or with
spokes broken and/or loosen or damaged may cause an acci-
dent, 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 85kg weight, Fac Michelin S.r.l. sug-
gests 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 109 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 urgently as it might be a sign of damage.
