Warning
!
Only Shimano original lock ring designed for through axle inter-
nal diameter 27mm to be used with the disc brake.
Warning before using the bicycle:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the compo-
nents before starting to ride.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tyres fitted to your Mi-
che 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 item closed in the correct position (Fig. 7-8). 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 qua-
lified mechanic or special personnel to perform the tensioning.
Attention, the use of wheels not centered properly or with spo-
kes 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
calipers 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. sug-
gests to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two
months or every 1,500km.
• We reccomend using these wheels if you weigh more than
102 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
seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Care-
fully 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 RDX 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 dia-
meter extractor, you can then remove the second bearing (Pic. 2).
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. 3).
• Check that the wheel turns freely.
