Warning!
Direct and violent impacts on broken road surfaces can
cause damage to the rims. Such damage is outside the

Using only MICHE brake pads for carbon rim that you find

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.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tyres/tubular tyres fitted
to your wheels. Please consult the manufacture of your tyres/tubu-
lars of choice when inflating your tyres/tubulars.
• Check your wheel(s) spoke tension, to ensure there are no spo-
kes with low spoke tension. In the event of any spokes not being at
the correct tension please note that any spoke tension adjustments
must be carried out by a specialist skilled cycle mechanic.
• Check that the wheel quick release are correctly closed to en-
sure the wheels are held in the cycle frame correctly, see (Fig.7)
ATTENTION incorrect use or the loosening of the quick
release could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
• Check very carefully the alignment of the front and rear brake cal-
liper brake blocks, ensuring the break only on the correct braking
surface of the Miche wheel rim(s) also check for, and remove, any
foreign particles which may be imbedded in the break pad. [Please
note you may need to remove your Miche wheels from your cycle
to do so]
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping po-
wer of your brakes is greatly reduced and the adherence of the
tires to the ground is considerably reduced. This makes it harder
to control and stop your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid an acci-
dent.
An accident could results in severe personal injury
or death.
• To the users of more than 85kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
every 1,500km.
• 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 dama-
ge, malfunctions and accidents.
