• Check the condition and pressure of the tires fitted to your Miche
wheels. Pressure must not exceed the limit of 3bar and 43psi sig-
ned 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 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. The
minimum pressure must be equal to 1.8 bar or 26 psi. The minimum
pressure of inflation should NOT ever be below the HIGHER level
between the value of the minimum pressure specified by the manu-
facturer of the tire and the one recommended by the manufacturer
of the rim. 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 item closed in the correct position (Fig. 9). If there is the
passing 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 loo-
sen 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 78kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests to
check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or every
500km.
• We reccomend using these wheels if you weigh more than 90 Kg
• 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.

The 966 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, fol-
low these simple steps.
• Extract the cage chamber (B) including the nuts (Fig. 1)
• Once the chamber successfully removed proceed replacing the be-
arings.
• 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 dia-
meter 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).
