8 SUPERTYPE SWR RC / MICHE.It
Lubricate the shoulders of the nipples where they will contact the rim:
The nipples seat against a carbon fiber inner ring. This nipple seat
area exhibits more friction than traditional rims, making the spoke feel
tighter as you turn the nipple. Also make sure to lubricate the spoke
threads. Lubrication of the nipple shoulder and spoke threads will gre-
atly reduce friction in the nipple seat area and reduce spoke wind-up.
To ensure the correct spoke tension please follow the indications be-
low:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel: 1000 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side: 1200 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, opposite free wheel side:
1000/1200 N.
To evaluate the correct wheel tension, please use a professional spoke
tension gauge, we do not recommend that spoke tension is estimated
manually; please refer to a professional cycle mechanic if you do not
own a professional spoke tension gauge. The correct spoke tension is
essential to ensure a ridged and durable wheelset.
ATTENTION in correct spoke tension, too high or too low, could lead
to wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal accident.
When replacing spokes please ensure thread lock compound is used.

SWR wheels are developed to set up tire. Miche SWR wheels are desi-
gns for use solely on the road or dedicated cycle track with a smooth
surface. Please ensure that the wheels are not subject to direct shock
from poor road surfaces [i.e. pot holes] ATTENTION direct shock to
the wheels from poor road surfaces could lead to wheel failure
and resulting serious or fatal accident. In the event your wheels are
subject to any such shocks from poor road surfaces, yet do show the
signs of any damage we advise you to immediately have the wheels
checked by a qualified mechanic or other qualified person.
QuicK reLeAse
The SWR wheels quick release has already attached in the wheel pack.
The quick release lever has two fixed positions:
• OPEN (the text OPEN is visible)
• CLOSED (the text CLOSED is visible)
!
Warning
Please ensure the quick release lever is closed correctly and in the
correct position. Failure to do so could lead to wheel failure and
resulting serious or fatal accident.
All the positions different from the closed position have to be conside-
red extremely dangerous.
For the correct closing of the quick release:
• Starting from the opened position of the lever, making the nut con-
tact with the fork manually
• Bringing the lever from the opened position to the closed only with
the hand power (Pic.7)
• Turn manually with your fingers the quick release nut until its sits
against the cycle dropout, ensuring the quick release lever is sitting
in the “open position” (Pic. 7)
• Don’t use any tools (ex: tubes, extensions, …); the closing stress
has to be felt in the passage from the opened to the closed position
(Pic.7).
• You never have to use the quick release lever as a nut to close the
quick release, because it will injury the quick release (Pic.8).
ATTENTION, turning the quick release lever to tighten the quick re-
lease could result in damage to the quick release and cycle frame
dropout, which could lead to wheel failure and resulting seriousse-
rious or fatal accident.
• Given that the wheels will be used on irregular surfaces, impacts,
hits or a fall can cause also damage which cannot be visible with
fast locking.
If one of these conditions is detected, please visit qualified mecha-
nic or special personnel for an accurate inspection of the locking,
since its damage may cause accidents, and serious or fatal injuries.
• After every washing, remove the locking from the hub and grease
the pin completely to prevent oxidation.

Warning
If you have any doubt whatsoever your service-repair ability,
please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
Before any maintenance operations on your wheels, always wear
gloves and protection glasses.
Use original spare parts exclusively provided by Fac Michelin S.r.l.
!
Warning
• Before fitting the tires, check that the diameter indicated on the tire
is 622 and the cross-section is between 25 and 28 mm, to insure that
the tire and wheel are compatible.
• Never use Latex inner tubes with this rim. The heat generated
when braking will cause the inner tube to suddenly fail, resulting
in an accident, personal injury or death.
• The use of clincher tires having a minimum diameter of 25 mm is
recommended so as to better protect the sides of the rim.
• To remove the clincher, use only plastic levers. Levers in different
material could damage the rim. A damage rim may break unex-
pectedly resulting in accidents, personal injury or death.
