then put in the new spoke (Pic.5).
• Lock with power the mobile side with a torque of 15 Nm and,
if it is necessary, adjust the hub by working on the ring (D), as
explained on the Section 2 / Hubs / Rear hub.
• Check the sliding of the wheel.
Please check that the hub is correctly tightened and closed,
failure to do so could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
To change the spokes on the free wheel side of the hub, it is no
necessary to take out the pin from hub' s body.
To ensure the correct spoke tension please follow the indications
below:
• Correct spoke tension for front wheel: 1100/1200 N.
• Correct spoke tension for rear wheel, free wheel side: 1400 N.
To evaluate the correct wheel tension, please use a professional
spoke tension gauge, we do not recommend that spoke tension
is estimated manually; please refer to a professional cycle me-
chanic if you do not own a professional spoke tension gauge. The
correct spoke tension is essential to ensure a ridged and durable
wheelset.
ATTENTION in correct spoke tension, too high or too low, could
lead to wheel failure and resulting serious or fatal accident.
When replacing spokes please ensure thread lock compound is
used.

SYNTIUM wheels are developed to set up clincher tire. Miche whe-
els are designs for use solely on the road or dedicated cycle track
with a smooth surface. Please ensure that the wheels are not
subject to direct shock from poor road surfaces [i.e. pot holes]
ATTENTION direct shock to the wheels from poor road surfa-
ces 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 checked by a qualified
mechanic or other qualified person.

The SYNTIUM 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).
Warning
!
Please ensure the quick release lever is closed 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 con-
sidered 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 po-
sition (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 release and
cycle frame dropout, which could lead to wheel 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 accu-
rate 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 grea-
se the pin completely to prevent oxidation.
