WHEELS USER MANUAL HO English CBK wheel user manual This manual contains important information about the safe operation and maintenance of your wheels To ensure that your CBK wheels perform properly we urge you to follow our recommendations to help make your riding experience more enjoyable and trouble free Important safety information Riding a bike with an improperly installed wheel can allow the wheel to move or disengage from the bicycle causing damage to the bicycle and or serious injury and or death to the rider Your wheels must be properly mounted to the bicycle frame Misalignment can result in problems with shifting and bike handling It is essential that you e Ensure that your axle dropouts and quick release mechanisms are clean and free of dirt or debris Ask your dealer to help you understand how to properly secure your wheels using the quick release mechanism Apply the correct techniques when installing your wheels Make sure four or more threads are engaged in the quick release adjusting nut when it is closed o Never ride your bicycle unless you are sure your wheels are installed properly and are secure CBK wheels are not intended to be used on any tandem bicycle Oo Do not exceed 125 psi 8 6 Bar when inflating tires on clincher rims Do not exceed the tire manufacturer s maximum pressure rating when inflating tires on tubular rims You must use the proper brake pads for your specific rims
3. Use of improper or contaminated brake pads will lead to excessively high braking temperatures which can cause premature rim wear and or failure which can lead to serious injury and or death e Do not use ceramic specific pads on non ceramic coated rims e Use only the pads included with your wheels or CBK approved pads For a list of CBK approved pads refer to www carbonbikekits com Do not use any other pads Non approved pads including non CBK carbon specific pads may generate heat that can lead to rim failure causing serious injury and or death e Do not re use any brake pads on carbon rims that have been previously used on aluminum rims as abrasive material may be embeded in the pad Aluminum rims Check the rim wear indicator s located on each side of the rim before every ride If any wear indicator is completely worn or missing immediately discontinue use of the wheel The wear indicator represents the minimum rim thickness allowable for safe operation of the wheel Riding the wheel with less than the minimum allowable rim thickness can lead to structural failure of the rim and or wheel Do not attempt to use any tubeless products excluding tubular tires with clincher or tubular wheels English CBK wheel user manual COMPATIBILITY CBK wheels are compatible with 11 speed cassettes A9 or 10 speed cassette may be used with the SRAM 11 speed driver body by installing the included spacer between the hub and the cassette Use of col
