Wheelset Installation
Gluing and mounting tubular tires requires skill and experience. It is highly recommended to have the tires mounted by a trained professional. Improperly mounted tires can separate from the wheel while
riding causing serious injury to the rider and damage to the wheels and bicycle. If you are not confident you posess the skills necessary to mount your tires, take the wheels and tires to a qualified bicycle mechanic.
1. Ensure tire is correct type (tubular or clincher) for wheel model. Install tire on rim as instructed by tire manufacturer.
2. Lightly grease the Freehub Body ③. Install the cassette. Wheels equipped with a Shimano Freehub Body are compatible with Shimano 11 spd cassettes. To work with Shimano or Sram 9 spd, and 10 spd cassettes, install
the 9s / 10s conversion ring ④ onto the Freehub Body ③.
3. Wheels equipped with the Campagnolo Freehub Body ③ are compatible with C9, C10 and C11 cassettes.
4. Install the Front ① and Rear Wheel ② into the drop-outs of the fork and frame. Insert the QR ⑤ from the left side; tighten the QR bolt to a 20 kgf.cm / 2 Nm / 18 in.lbs. The lever end of the QR may require substantial
effort to close. If it closes with only moderate hand pressure, the QR must be tightened. If you are unsure how to correctly use the QR skewer, consult an experienced mechanic to help determine proper adjustment
before riding the bicycle. Note: The QR lever should point upward in order to avoid hitting it on passing objects while riding. Regularly check the QR adjustment. The QR must be periodically lubricated at the pivot
points.
5. Adjust brakes according to brake manufacturer’s instructions.
Always check brake performance and adjustment before each ride. For carbon fiber FSA wheels, only use the supplied FSA carbon specific
brake pads. Do not use FSA carbon specific pads with non carbon rims. The FSA carbon rim brake surface has a special brake track layer to resist brake heat and abrasion. Replace the rim if this layer has been worn off.
Use of incorrect brake pads can cause damage to the carbon braking surface and rim. Note: Use of any other brake pad will void the warranty.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect the wheels for damage. Use a spoke tension measuring device to check spoke tension during routine maintenance. Refer to the specification in the above chart. Maximum spoke tension
must not exceed specification. Using tension above max specification will void warranty.
If tension above maximum is necessary to true the wheel, the rim may be damaged and should be replaced. Do not
remove rim decals. Decal removal can compromise rim clear coat. Rim failures can cause serious accidents.
