SAFETY
INTENDED USE
Any use other than that intended can lead to accidents
resulting in fatal or serious injury.
Your.Lightweight.wheels.are.designed.solely:.

for.installation.on.standard.race.and.time.trial.bikes.which.are.
designed.to.have.rim.brakes.fitted
ÎÎ
for.use.with.rim.brakes
ÎÎ
.for.installation.(adhesion).of.tubular.tyres
ÎÎ
.for.the.installation.of.clincher.or.foldable.clincher.tyres.that.
comply.with.the.ETRTO*.standards ..

IN YOUR OWN INTEREST
Always.remember.that.riding.a.bicycle.involves.potential.danger.for.
the.rider.and.other.road.users,.as.well.as.for.the.bicycle.and.its.
components .
Even.if.protective.equipment.and.safety.devices.are.used,.accidents.
resulting.in.death.or.serious.injury.can.still.occur
Furthermore,.improperly.performed.assembly.and.maintenance.
work.could.also.result.in.a.loss.of.your.rights.with.regard.to.product.
liability.and.service!
Always.ensure.your.bicycle.is.maintained.in.a.flawless.condition .
Care.and.maintenance.will.prolong.the.service.life.of.your.bicycle.
and.its.components.and.improve.your.personal.safety!
You.should.also.rely.on.your.common.sense.and.avoid.any.unrea-
sonable.behaviour!
FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Assembly & maintenance
Risk of accident due to damage wheels resulting from un-
professionally performed assembly and maintenance work.
•Î
Do.not.overestimate.your.technical.ability .All.assembly.and.main-
tenance.work.should.be.performed.by.a.specialist.workshop.for.
bicycles .This.is.the.only.way.to.ensure.that.work.is.conducted.in.a.
professional.manner
•Î
Always.maintain.all.specified.min /max .values.–see.Technical
data,.page.14
•Î
When.conducting.assembly.steps.that.require.a.specific.tightening.
torque,.always.use.an.appropriate.torque.wrench.that.is.designed.
for.the.tightening.torque.specified
•Î
Only.use.original.Lightweight.brake.pads,.They.are.available.from.
your.specialist.shop.or.directly.from.CarbonSports
•Î
.Never.use.tubeless.tyres.–.the.rim.well.surface.is.not.hermeti-
cally.sealed.and.will.suffer.damage.as.a.result.of.the.immediate.
effect.caused.by.the.tyre.inflation.pressure .
Risk of accident due to tyre failure.
•Î
Only.ever.use.high.quality.and.undamaged.tubular.tyres.and.suit-
able.adhesive
•Î
Your.tubular.tyres.should.only.be.installed.(adhesion).by.an.expert.
bicycle.mechanic
•Î
Observe.the.min /max .inflation.pressure.values.specified.by.the.
manufacturer
Risk of accident due to a bursting tyre.
•Î
Never.use.latex.inner.tubes
•Î
Never.exceed.the.tyre.inflation.pressure.approved.by.us,.because.
the.tyre.inflation.pressure.will.increase.considerably.as.a.result.of.
the.temperature.created.by.rolling.resistance.and.possibly.high.
ambient.temperature.–see.Installing clincher tyres,.page.21
