Installing the wheels
Risk of accident through malfunction of the quick release
skewer caused by improper assembly.

•Î
Make.sure.that.the.derailleur.hanger.(

•Î
Make.sure.that.the.chain.cannot.move.beyond.the.large.sprocket.
and.that.there.is.a.minimum.clearance.of.1–2.mm.between.the.
pulley.cage.(

Risk of accident due to wheels locking as a result of insuf-
ficient clearance.
•Î
Make.sure.that.the.clearance.between.the.tyres.and.rear.stays/
seat.tube.and/or.fork.blades/fork.head.is.at least 5 mm .[
G3
]
Use.narrower.tyres.if.necessary
Damage to the wheel and frame due to friction on
the seat or chain stay.
•Î
Make.sure.there.is.a.minimum clearance of 5 mm between.the.
Lightweight.
disC.and.all.rear.stays .[

Otherwise.we.recommend.not.installing.the.Lightweight.disC.in.
that.frame!

.The.number.of.narrow.rear.frames.on.aerodynamic.race.
bike.frames.is.increasing,.which.can.cause.problems,.particularly.
with.an.asymmetric.design .
If.you.are.planning.to.purchase.a.new.race.bike.frame.with.which.
you.wish.to.use.the.Lightweight.disC,.check.with.the.frame.

.)
.Check.all.measuring.points.(60.mm.….300.mm).to.make.sure.
that.there.are.the.required.clearances.between.the.rear.stays.
