Warning

Failure of the frame dropout to meet the correct geometry
could compromises the correct functionality of the casset-
te.
ASSEMBLY
The cassette is supplied pre-assembled with the spacers and
the lock ring as showed in Pic. 2
• Remove the plastic holder cap.
• Match the holder on the freewheel body, making sure that the
freewheel body spline and the internal sprockets spline are
correctly aligned.
• Apply a light pressure on the cogs to allow them to slide fre-
ely from the plastic support onto the freewheel body, paying
attention to correctly fit the pole position sprocket.
• Once fitted, slightly screw the cassette lock ring, then lock it
firmly by using the correct tool and the torque wrench. Apply
the tightening torque shown on the ring.
Warning: make sure to apply the torque indicated on the
ring, since a loose cassette lock ring could cause accidents,
personal injuries, and or death.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• When changing gear, reduce the effort applied to bicycle pe-
dals, shifting under high pedal torque/loads could damage
the sprockets and the whole drive system.
• Always keep your cassette and each sprocket clean and
lubricated.
• Never wash any part with pressurized water, as the water
may penetrate seals and cause permanent damages to the
internal components. We recommend cleaning the compo-
nents with a sponge, mild soap, and water
• We recommend to have the chain checked by a qualified me-
chanic for wear every 500 km, since a stretched chain may
wear out teeth of cassette and the whole drive system and
cause chain jams and jumps.
• Durability of sprockets depends by shifting system, cle-
aning of cassette and drive system, and replacement of
any worn chain.
