Riding a bike with an improperly installed wheel can allow the wheel to move or disengage from the
bicycle, causing damage to the bicycle, and/or serious injury and/or death to the rider. Your wheels
must be properly mounted to the bicycle frame. Misalignment can result in problems with shifting
and bike handling. It is essential that you:
Ensure that your axle, dropouts, and quick release mechanisms are clean and free of dirt or •
debris.
Ask your dealer to help you understand how to properly secure your wheels using the quick
•
release mechanism.
Apply the correct techniques when installing your wheels. Make sure four or more threads are
•
engaged in the quick release adjusting nut when it is closed.
Never ride your bicycle unless you are sure your wheels are installed properly, and are secure.
•
SRAM wheels are •
not
intended to be used on any tandem bicycle.
Do not exceed 125 psi (8.6 Bar) when inflating tires on clincher rims. •
Do not exceed the tire manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating when inflating tires on tubular •
rims.
You must use the proper brake pads for your specific rims. Use of improper or contaminated brake
pads will lead to excessively high braking temperatures which can cause premature rim wear and/or
failure which can lead to serious injury and/or death.
Do not use ceramic specific pads on non-ceramic coated rims. •
Do not re-use any brake pads on carbon rims that have been previously used on aluminum rims •
as abrasive material may be embeded in the pad.
Aluminum rims: Check the rim wear indicator(s) located on each side of the rim before every ride. If
any wear indicator is completely worn or missing, immediately discontinue use of the wheel. The wear
indicator represents the minimum rim thickness allowable for safe operation of the wheel. Riding the
wheel with less than the minimum allowable rim thickness can lead to structural failure of the rim and/or
wheel.
Do not attempt to use any tubeless products (excluding tubular tires) with clincher or tubular wheels.
