5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Periodic wheel maintenance
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that you contact a qualified mechanic
for all your service needs including mounting, removal and replacement of
the hubs, rims and spokes. Ask the mechanic to recommend an inspection
and service schedule that is right for you based on the riding style, mileage
and environment (example: rain, salted roads, muddy roads, bike rider’s
weight, etc…).
WARNING: Spoke nipples should only be adjusted with a special nipple
wrench. Using other tools may damage the nipples and/or cause them to
break resulting in accidents, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: For qualified mechanics, contact your local FORMULA S.a.S deal-
er or FORMULA S.a.S service center for instructions regarding mounting,
servicing and replacing the hubs, rims and spokes.
5.2 Cleaning the wheels
Use only water and neutral soap or products specifically formulated to clean bicy-
cles. If you are not sure if a cleaning product is suitable, contact the FORMULA S.a.S
service center.
Dry with a soft cloth.
WARNING: Do not use rough sponges or metal pads.
CAUTION: Salt, mud and sand may seriously damage the bicycle and its com-
ponents. Thoroughly rinse, clean and dry your bicycle after using it in these
conditions. If a high-pressure washer is used to wash the bike, NEVER aim
the water jet directly at the hubs. Pressurized water, even water sprayed
from a garden hose, may penetrate the seals and get inside the hubs, irrep-
arably damaging the bearings.
