Before using the bicycle:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the components
before starting to ride.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tires fitted to your wheels.
Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure or loss of control
of the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Check that the wheels are firmly anchored to the frame with the
locking in the correct closed position
sing through pin, consult the installation instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the bicycle or fork.
Attention, an incorrect locking may cause the detachment of the
wheel and derive in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
• 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 not centered properly or with spokes
broken and/or loosen or damaged may cause an accident, serious
injury or death.
• Check that the braking system and the brake pads in the brake cali-
pers are in good state and that the screws on the disc or the locking
ring of the disc, depending on your model, are properly locked.
• To the users of more than 85kg weight, Fac Michelin S.r.l. suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
(Pic. 7-8). If there is the pas-
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 se-
aside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Carefully
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.

The RACE WP DX hubs are easy to maintain. To do it, proceed as
follows:
FRONT HUB
The front hub does not require any particular maintenance.
For any extraordinary maintenance and replacement of bearings,
follow these simple steps.
• Extract the cage chamber (B) including the nuts (Fig. 1)
• 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. 2)
Once the first bearing has been removed, using special 17mm diameter
extractor, you can then remove the second bearing (Pic. 2).
Once these have been replaced, proceed in fitting the new bearings:
• 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 bra-
ckets are also be installed correctly (Pic. 3)
