holes] ATTENTION 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 che-
cked by a qualified mechanic or other qualified person.
Quick release
The EVOX RC 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 clo-
sed correctly 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
considered 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 position
(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 re-
lease and cycle frame dropout, which could lead to whe-
el failure and resulting serious or fatal accident.
• Given that the wheels will be used on irregular surfaces, impacts,
hits or a fall can cause also damage which cannot be visible with
fast locking.
If one of these conditions is detected, please visit a
qualified mechanic or special personnel for an accurate
inspection of the locking, since its damage may cause
accidents, and serious or fatal injuries.
• After every washing, remove the locking from the hub and grease
the pin completely to prevent oxidation.
SECTION V: Installing the clincher tire
Attention
If you have any doubt whatsoever your service-repair abi-
lity, please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
Before any maintenance operations on your wheels, al-
ways wear gloves and protection glasses.
Use original spare parts exclusively provided by Fac Mi-
chelin S.r.l.
Attention:
Before fitting the tires, check that the diameter indicated on the tire
is 622 and the cross-section is between 25 and 32 mm, to insure
that the tire and wheel are compatible.
• Never use Latex inner tubes with this rim. The heat
generated when braking will cause the inner tube to
suddenly fail, resulting in an accident, personal injury or
death.
The use of clincher tires having a minimum diameter of 25 mm is
recommended so as to better protect the sides of the rim.
• To remove the clincher, use only plastic levers. Levers in different
material could damage the rim. A
damage rim may break unexpectedly resulting in accidents,
personal injury or death.
