• 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.
Warning, 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 78kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
every 500km.
• 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. Carefully rinse, clean, dry and re-
lubricate all exposed parts to avoid damage, malfunctions and
accidents.

Extract the cage chamber (B) including the nuts (Fig. 2)
Once the chamber successfully removed proceed replacing the
bearings.
• 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 dia-
meter extractor, you can then remove the second bearing (Pic. 3)
Once these have been replaced, proceed in fitting the new bea-
rings:
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
brackets are also be installed correctly (Pic. 4)
Check that the wheel turns freely.
