GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
It is under user’s responsibility to check regularly the product to determine the
need of maintenance or replacement. Wheels and their components are products
wearing during the standard use of the bike, for that reason we recommend users
to regularly inspect their bicycle and parts in order to find any damage. If any
doubts or problems occur, stop riding the wheels and have them inspected by an
official Deda Elementi dealer or a qualified bicycle technician.
These wheels have been designed and intended to be used on normal paved
surfaces. In case of use on not paved surfaces or off-road, wheels can be
subjected to damages, loose their functioning and cause serious accidents
and injury for the user.
Regularly check the wheels to make certain that they are installed correctly to
the bicycle and fastened securely to the frame and fork.
If any bicycle fall or accident occur, stop riding the wheels and have them
inspected carefully by an official Deda Elementi dealer or a qualified bicycle
technician.
Frequently check the status of the wheels parts subjected to wear and if
necessary make the maintenance and/or parts replacement through the
official Deda Elementi dealers.
It is recommended to make an inspection after each riding season or every
time in case of problems related to bearing, wheel out of center or damages
to single parts
Install only bicycle tires compatible with rims technical specifications included
in this user’s manual. The installation of tires not compatible can damage
the rim wheels, invalidate the Deda Elementi Warranty and cause serious
accidents and injury for the user.
Follow the minimum inflation pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer.
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure permitted for this Deda
Elementi rim of 7 bar / 100 psi. The use of inflation pressures out of this
