Warning before using the bicycle:

shown on the tire side. ATTENTION, do not use clincher tires/Tube-
less tires with too high or low air pressure, failure to do so could
lead to a serious or fatal accident.
• Check that the wheels are firmlyanchored to the frame with the lo-
cking in the correct closed position. Raise a wheel and thrust with
force the tire many times; the wheel must never get unhooked; do
the same with the other wheel. Attention, an incorrect locking may
cause the detachment of the wheel and derive in accidents and se-
rious or fatal injuries.
• Check the tension of the spokes so as to notice any spokes which
got loose. In the case spokes are loose, contact a qualified mechanic
or special personnel to perform the tensioning.

which have spokes loose and/or damaged may cause accidents
and serious or fatal injuries.

• Extract the cage chamber (B) including the nuts (Fig. 2)
Once the chamber successfully removed proceed replacing the bea-
rings.
• Apply light pressure to the axel (C) using a plastic-edged tool: apply
pressure until the bearing has been totally removed from its housing
including the axel (Pic. 3)
Once the first bearing has been removed, using special 17mm diameter
extractor, you can then remove the second bearing (Pic. 3).
Once these have been replaced, proceed in fitting the new bearings:
• fit the first bearing using a plastic-edged tool: apply pressure until
the soft pad is perfectly fitted within the housing
• insert the axel (C)
• centre the second bearing in line with the axel and fit it using a push
bearing that is big enough to contain the axel itself
• insert the chamber on the axel making sure that the support bra-
ckets are also be installed correctly (Pic. 4).
• Check that the wheel turns freely.
