Warning
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the coBefore
using the bicycle it is necessary to:
•Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the
components before starting to ride.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tyres fitted to your
Miche wheels. Pressure must not exceed the limit of 8bar
and 116psi signed 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
MAIN INDEX
pressure. In addition, premature damage to the rim may occur.
Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure or loss of control of
the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Check your wheel(s) spoke tension, to ensure there are no
spokes with low spoke tension. In the event
of any spokes not being at the correct tension please note that
any spoke tension adjustments must be carried out by a specialist
skilled cycle mechanic.
• Check that the wheel quick release are correctly closed to
ensure the wheels are held in the cycle frame correctly, see (fig. 6)
ATTENTION incorrect use or the loosening of the quick
release could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
• Check very carefully the alignment of the front and rear brake
calliper brake blocks, ensuring the break only on the correct braking
surface of the Miche wheel rim(s) also check for, and remove, any
foreign particles which may be imbedded in the break pad. Check
wear status regularly of the rim and replace it if necessary. Rims
can be considered faulty when braking surface appear
to be small signs, cracks and other signs deeper than
0,2mm. To maintain the brake pads are in efficient working order
and to avoid wear on the sides of the rims, you should remove with a
file any residue of sand, debris or foreign objects which may become
embedded in the brake pads, especially during use in the rain.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping
power of your brakes is greatly reduced and the adherence of
the tires to the ground is considerably reduced. This makes it
harder to control and stop your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid
an accident. An accident could results in severe personal
injury or death.
• To the users of more than 85kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months or
every 1,500km.
• 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.
