Please check that the hub is correctly tightened and
closed, failure to do so could lead to a serious or fatal
accident.
Rear hub
To change a spoke on the left side of the hub:
• Insert two keys (A) inside the extremity of the hub and turn them
in clock sense.
• Once you take out the mobile side, take out the damaged spoke,
then put in the new spoke (Pic.5).
• Lock with power the mobile side with a torque of 15 Nm.
Check the sliding of the wheel.
Please check that the hub is correctly tightened and
closed, failure to do so could lead to a serious or fatal
accident.
To change the spokes on the free wheel side of the hub, it is no
necessary to take out the pin from hub’s body.
To ensure the optimum wheel “dish” spoke line, please follow the
indications below:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel: 1100/1200 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side: 1400 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.
SECTION IV:
Complete wheels
Altur wheels are developed to set up clincher tyre.
Miche wheels are designs 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 che-
cked by a qualified mechanic or other qualified person.
Quick release
The Syntium 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)
Every time you will use your bicycle, check carefully that the quick
release levers are on the position CLOSE (with the lever in closed
position, on the front side of the quick release the mark CLOSE
must be present) (Pic.6).
ATTENTION: Please ensure the quick release lever is clo-
sed 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
considered extremely dangerous.
For the correct closing of the quick release:
• Starting from the opened position of the lever, making the nut
contact 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 release could result in damage to the quick re-
lease and cycle frame dropout, which could lead to whe-
el failure and resulting serious 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 a
qualified mechanic 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.
SECTION V:
Setting up the tubular
Attention
If you have any doubt whatsoever your service-repair abi-
lity, please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
Before any maintenance operations on your wheels, al-
ways wear gloves and protection glasses.
To fit the tubular tyre, follow carefully the instructions enclosed with
the tyre.
ATTENTION:
If at any point whilst fitting the tubular tyres to your Miche wheels
you have any doubt as to how the tubular tyre has been fitted
please consult a qualified cycle mechanic. The fitment of tubular
tyres to Miche wheels is a specialist skill. Incorrect fitting of tubular
tyres to Miche wheels could lead to wheel failure and resulting
serious or fatal accident
