CHANGE A SPOKE
Warning
If you have any doubt whatsoever your service-repair
ability, please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
Before any maintenance operations on your wheels,
always wear gloves and protection glasses.
Use only spokes of the same length and characteristics
of those being replaced. Use original spare parts
exclusively provided by Fac Michelin Spa.
To change a spoke on the SWR FULLCARBON Wheels, proceed
as follows:
Front hub
• Insert two keys (A) in the extremity of the hubs. Turn them in
anti-clock wise.
• Once you take out the mobile side, if it is necessary take out the
complete pin from the opposite side.
Take out the damaged spoke, then put in the new spoke (Pic.4).
• If it is necessary put the pin into hub's body, and lock with power
the mobile side with a torque of 15 Nm. It is possible eventually
adjust the hub, by working on the ring (D), as explained on Section
II: Hubs – Front hub.
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.
Rear hub
To change a spoke on the left side of the hub:
• Insert two keys (A) inside the extremity of the hub and turn them
in anti-clockwise.
• Once you take out the mobile side, take out the damaged spoke,
then put in the new spoke (Pic.5).
• Lock with power the mobile side with a torque of 15 Nm and, if it
is necessary, adjust the hub by working on the ring (D), as explai-
ned on the Section II: Hubs – Rear Hub.
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.
To change the spokes on the free wheel side of the hub, it is no
necessary to take out the pin from hub's body.
To ensure the correct spoke tension please follow the indications
below:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel: 1000 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side: 1200 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, opposite free wheel side:
1000/1100 N.
To evaluate the correct wheel tension, please use a professional
spoke tension gauge, we do not recommend that spoke tension is
estimated manually; please refer to a professional cycle mechanic
if you do not own a professional spoke tension gauge. The correct
spoke tension is essential to ensure a ridged and durable wheelset.
When replacing spokes please ensure thread lock compound is
used.
Miche Carbon wheel rims do not possess the same technical
characteristic as a traditional alloy or steel cycle rim. The spoke
nipples sit inside a special carbon insert seated in the rim. This
carbon insert allows your Miche wheel to be built with the correct
spoke tension, ensuring this tension, which is around twice that of
a normal alloy wheel, is maintained and does not cause damage
to the carbon rim. ATTENTION in correct spoke tension, too high
or too low, could lead to wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal
accident
SECTION IV -
Complete wheels
SWR FULLCARBON Wheels are developed to set up tubular, and
designs for use solely on the road or dedicated cycle track with
a smooth surface. Please ensure that the wheels are not subject
to direct shock from poor road surfaces [i.e. pot holes] ATTEN-
TION direct shock to the wheels from poor road surfaces could
lead to wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal accident. In the
event your wheels are subject to any such shocks from poor road
surfaces, yet do show the signs of any damage we advise you to
immediately have the wheels checked by a qualified mechanic or
other qualified person. ATTENTION failure to check your wheels
after they have been subject shock as described above, even if
they show no visable signs of damage, could lead to wheel failure
and resulting serious or fatal accident
Quick release
The SWR FULLCARBON Wheels quick release
has already attached in the wheel pack.
The quick release lever has two fixed positions:
- OPEN (the text OPEN is visible)
- CLOSED (the text CLOSED is visible)
Every time you will use your bicycle, check carefully that the quick
release levers are on the position CLOSE (with the lever in closed
position, on the front side of the quick release the mark CLOSE
must be present) (Pic.6).
ATTENTION, please ensure the quick release lever is closed cor-
rectly and in the correct position. Failure to do so could lead to
wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal accident.
All the positions different from the closed position have to be con-
sidered extremely dangerous.
For the correct closing of the quick release:
• Starting from the opened position of the lever, making the nut
contact with the fork manually
• Bringing the lever from the opened position to the closed only
with the hand power (Pic.7)
• Turn manually with your fingers the quick release nut until its sits
against the cycle dropout, ensuring the quick release lever is sitting
in the "open position" (Pic. 7)
• Don't use any tools (ex: tubes, extensions, ...); the closing stress
has to be felt in the passage from the opened to the closed po-
sition (Pic.7).
• You never have to use the quick release lever as a nut to close the
quick release, because it will injury the quick release (Pic.8).
ATTENTION, turning the quick release lever to tighten the quick
release could result in damage to the quick release and cycle frame
dropout, which could lead to wheel failure and resulting serious or
fatal accident.
Please ensure you clean the Miche quick release whenever you
use your Miche wheels in the rain, or after any extend periods of
non use. We recommend this is carried out as a minimum every
30 days.
