Warning
Any modification or alteration (and graphic) of the product with
non-original spare parts or spare parts not delivered directly by
Fac Michelin S.r.l., involves the expiration of the guarantee.
!
Warning
Direct and violent impacts on broken road surfaces can cause da-
mage to the rims. Such damage is outside the conditions of our
guarantee and repair costs will be charged directly to the customer.
!
Warning
In case of strange impact caused from bad road base or wheels
transport, we trust to bring the wheels to your mechanic for a
check.
Using only MICHE brake pads for carbon rim that you find inside
wheel set box. Use original spare parts exclusively provided by
Fac Michelin S.r.l.
Place correctly brake pads at 2,5 to 3mm from the external side as
shown indesign. (Fig.9).
Warning before using the bicycle:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the components
before starting to ride.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tyres fitted to your Miche
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 pres-
sure 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 in-
creases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire pres-
sure. 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 your wheel(s) spoke tension, to ensure there are no spokes
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 ensure
the wheels are held in the cycle frame correctly, see (Fig.6)
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 fo-
reign particles which may be imbedded in the break pad. Check wear
status regularly of the rim and replace it if necessary. Rims can be
considered faulty when braking surface appear to be small signs,
cracks and other signs deeper than 0,2mm. To maintain the brake
pads are in efficient working order and to avoid wear on the sides of
the rims, you should remove with a file any residue of sand, debris
or foreign objects which may become embedded in the brake pads,
especially during use in the rain.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power
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 accident. An
accident could results in severe personal injury or death.
• To the users of more than 85kg weight, Fac Michelin S.r.l. suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
every 1,500km.
• We reccomend using these wheels if you weigh more than 102 Kg
• 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 se-
aside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Carefully
rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed parts to avoid damage,
malfunctions and accidents.
