MAINTENANCE & CARE
1. Load limit of your product (the weight of rider + bike + luggage) :
WheelSystems for road bike: 285 lbs. / 129kg
WheelSystems for mountain bike: 300lbs / 136kg
E-bike: Only use E-bike specific wheels. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for more details.
2.
Storing your WheelSystems :
Carbon WheelSystems may be damaged by improper
storing. Do not hang the bike by the wheel while
displaying or storage. (Figure 13)
CAUTION
：
Use caution when attaching the bike to a car
rack as the unpredictable high forces of the retention
devices may cause damage to the wheels.
3. Contact your authorized GIANT retailer for all wheel
service needs. Have the spoke tension and the wheel
trueness checked regularly. Spoke tension that is too high or too low can cause high operating loads of
the wheel components and could lead to a premature failure caused by material fatigue.
4. Check the wheels before and after every ride for any damage. Do not ride the wheels under any
circumstances if there is any damage to the rim or other components of the wheels. For example:
deformation of the braking surface, cracks in the rim, broken spokes, and looseness or play in the
bearings. If this is the case, contact your authorized GIANT retailer to resolve the problem.
5. Get your bike checked by authorized GIANT retailer after every accident that may result in damage to
your WheelSystems.
6. CLEANING:
A. Wheels must be cleaned frequently with a soft sponge and neutral cleaner (such as mild soap and
water). Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone, mineral spirits, etc.).
B. Hub: The front and rear hub must be maintained at least once a year. If used regularly under
extreme conditions (e.g. strong rain, mud, transport in rain, etc.) the driver body should be
maintained more frequently. Frequent maintenance of the hubs guarantees a longer life span and
optimal performance over time. Use of high-pressure water or strong cleaner may inject external
contaminants into the hub and should be avoided. Do not use strong solvents. (e.g. acetone,
mineral spirits, etc.).
C. Sealant: to retain proper air tightness and puncture repair functionality, follow below mentioned
maintenance frequency:
• Every 2 months: check and refill sealant as necessary
• Every 6 months: check and replace rim tapes as necessary
• Once per year: Remove old or dry sealant and use only a cloth rag to wipe the inside of the tire.
Improper maintenance may result in failure of sealant functionalities.
CAUTION:
Before riding your bicycle, please check the tire pressure and clean all contaminants and
brake pad residue (grit, dirt, oil, etc.) from the tires, brake pad and braking surface (particularly any
traces of oil or grease) and check the wear of the brake pads, brake surface of the rim before every
ride. Replace worn out brake pads with new ones to maintain optimum braking effect.
CAUTION:
If you use Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystems with tubeless tires, please check your tire
