� Warning
Any modification or alteration (and graphic) of the product with
non-original spare parts or spare parts not delivered directly
by Fac Michelin S.r.l., involves the expiration of the guarantee.
� Warning
Direct and violent impacts on broken road surfaces can cause
damage to the rims. Such damage is outside the conditions of
our guarantee and repair costs will be charged directly to the
customer.
� Warning
In case of strange impact caused from bad road base or wheels
transport, we trust to bring the wheels to your mechanic for a
check.
� Warning
Tubeless Ready tyre section width: min 35mm / max 50mm
� Warning
Only Shimano original lock ring designed for through axle inter-
nal diameter 27mm to be used with the disc brake.
Warning before using the bicycle it is necessary to:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the compo-
nents before starting to ride.
• The rims, fitted with Tubeless Ready kits certified by our Quality
Department, are made with extreme dimensional precision. If
the tyre is too easy to fit on a rim, the tyre may be too big, which
can have great significance in terms of safety. We therefore re-
commend using only high quality tyres that require the use of
clincher tyre levers and a reasonable amount of strength to fit
them. Using a tyre that is too big for the rim may cause the
tyre to rupture unexpectedly and cause accidents, physical
injuries or even death.
WARNING! Incorrect rim / clincher tyre coupling may cause
it to deflate, burst or detach suddenly and cause accidents,
serious injuries or even death.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tyres fitted to your Mi-
che wheels. Pressure must not exceed the limit of 4,5 bar and
66 psi signed behind valve hole. The inflating pressure of the
tyres must NOT exceed the LOWER pressure level between the
maximum pressure stated by the tyre manufacturer.
Excessive tire pressure reduces the grip of the tire on the road
6 GRAFF ROUTE / MICHE.IT
and increases the risk that the tire will unexpectedly burst.
Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance and
increases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire
pressure. In addition, premature damage to the rim may occur.
Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure or loss of con-
trol of the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury
or death.
• Check that the wheels are securely fixed to the frame with the
QR closed in the correct position. In the case of a through axle,
consult the assembly instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the through axle. Caution, an incorrectly closed wheel block
can cause the wheel to come off and result in an accident, se-
rious injury or death.
• Check the tension of the spokes so as to notice any spokes
which got loose. In the case spokes are loose, contact a qua-
lified mechanic or special personnel to perform the tensioning.
ATTENTION, the use of wheels not centered properly or with
spokes broken and/or loosen or damaged may cause an ac-
cident, serious injury or death.
• Check that braking system and brake caliper pads are in good
condition, and that the rotor screws or rotor fixing ring, depen-
ding on your model, are correctly locked.
• Cyclists weighing more than 78 kg are advised to have the
bicycle checked every 500 km by a qualified mechanic or spe-
cialised personnel for cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue or
wear.
• If the total weight of you, the bike, and the various installed
parts exceeds 108 Kg, do not use these wheels.
• Never wash the pieces with pressure-fed water because water
may get through the seals and cause permanent damage to the
internal components. We recommend washing components with
a sponge, mild soap, and water.
• Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and neat the
seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Care-
fully rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed parts to avoid
damage, malfunctions and accidents.
• If your component shows signs of rust, this means it has to be
changed urgently as it might be a sign of damage.
