the locking in the correct closed position. Raise a wheel and
thrust with force the tyre many times; the wheel must never get
unhooked; do the same with the other wheel.
Warning, an incorrect locking may cause the detachment of the
wheel and derive in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
• Check very carefully the alignment of the front and rear brake
calliper brake blocks, ensuring the break only on the correct
braking surface of the Miche wheel rim(s) also check for, and
remove, any foreign particles which may be imbedded in the break
pad. [Please note you may need to remove your Miche wheels
from your cycle to do so]. On both sides of the wheel rim there is
a label which indicates the state of wear of the rim.
• 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.
Attention, the use of wheels which are centred incorrectly or which
have spokes loose and/or damaged may cause accidents and
serious or fatal injuries.
• To the users of more than 85kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
every 1,500km.
• Never wash the parts with pressure-fed water, because water
may penetrate the seals and cause permanent damage to the
internal components. We recommend washing the components
using a sponge, mild soap and water.

opposite side the complete pin.
• Once you take out the pin from hub's body, you could, if it is
necessary, change the bearings.
To reassembly it:
• Put the pin into the hub's body and lock with power the mobile
side with a torque of 15 Nm. If necessary, adjust the hub by
working on the ring (D):
• Unlock the grub screw (E) with a key (B) (Pic. 1).
• Turn the ring clockwise to drop the sliding, and anti-clockwise to
raise the sliding. Lock the grub screw (E).
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.
