IN YOUR OWN INTEREST
Always.remember.that.riding.a.bicycle.involves.potential.danger.for.
both.yourself.and.other.road.users,.as.well.as.for.your.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.tighten-
ing.torque,.always.use.an.appropriate.torque.wrench.that.is.de-
signed.for.the.tightening.torque.specified
•Î .Use.tubeless.tyre.systems.exclusively.with.wheels.of.the.EVO.
series .
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

SAFETY
17
ENGLISH
Greatly increased tyre wear.
•Î Do.not.combine.a.tubeless.tyre.system.with.an.inner.tube.other.
than.in.case.of.breakdown.and.then.only.for.a.short.distance
Corrosion and material damage due to penetration of
water.
•Î Never.use.a.pressure.washer.or.steam.cleaner.to.clean.your.
bicycle,.as.the.seals.of.your.bicycle.components.are.unable.to.
withstand.the.pressure .
Even.if.you.use.a.hose,.be.careful.–.never.aim.the.hose.directly.at.
the.bearing.components .[F1]
Corrosion on surface of your Lightweight components due
to incorrect cleaning.
•Î Never.use.aggressive.solvents.(e g .paint.thinner,.nitro.etc )
•Î It.is.best.to.use.water.and.standard.paintwork.cleaning.products
•Î Isopropanol,.spirits.or.petrol.may.be.used.carefully;.however,.
avoid.excessive.wiping.and.long.exposure.times.and.also.any.
contact.with.the.rim.decor
 We.recommend.our.specially.developed.Lightweight.cleaner For
brake track areas.for.cleaning,.available.from.your.specialist.
shop.or.directly.from.CarbonSports.–.but.avoid.all.contact.with.
the.rim.decor!
On the road
Risk of accident through damaged wheels.
•Î Never.exceed.the.maximum.approved.total.weight.–see.Technical
data,.page.14
•Î Avoid.riding.through.potholes.or.over.edges.and.steps
•Î Always.check.your.wheels.before.every.ride,.after.a.violent.shock.
and.after.a.blow-out.(dents,.scratches,.cracks,.large.areas.of.
abrasion.etc ) .Send.us.your.wheels.for.inspection.before.using.
them.again.if.there.is.visible.damage.or.if.you.have.any.doubts.
about.their.condition .
.In.particular,.always.check.the.sensitive.rim.flange.(1).for.dam-
age.before.every.ride,.after.every.hard.impact.and.after.every.
blow-out.(dents,.cracks.etc ) .[C3]
•Î Never.ride.with.your.wheels.in.combination.with.a.rim.brake
•Î Never.ride.with.damaged.wheels
•Î Never.continue.using.your.bicycle.after.a.serious.crash .
If.such.a.case.occurs,.send.your.wheels.to.us.for.inspection.even.
if.no.external.damage.is.visible ..
In.your.own.interest.you.should.deal.in.the.same.way.with.all.
components.on.your.bicycle.that.are.produced.by.other.manufac-
turers
•Î Do.not.use.your.wheels.below.-10.°C.(14.°F).or.above.45.°C.
(113.°F).ambient.temperature
Risk of accident caused by erratic riding or improper
equipment.
•Î Pay.particular.attention.when.riding.in.high.winds .
Front.wheels.are.more.sensitive.to.side.winds.from.a.rim.height.
of.30.mm.–.the.higher.the.rim.the.greater.the.sensitivity .
Unwanted.steering.movements.may.result
•Î Always.observe.the.traffic.regulations.of.the.country.where.you.
are.riding.your.bicycle
•Î When.riding.your.bicycle.always.wear.a.high.quality.cycling.
.helmet.(e .g .ANSI.certified),.that.is.in.excellent.condition.and.
close-fitting.but.not.restrictive.clothing
•Î Only.ride.your.bicycle.if.you.are.in.good.physical.condition.and.
your.bicycle.and.all.its.components.are.working.perfectly

SAFETY
Transport & storage
Risk of accident through damaged wheels.
•Î Protect.your.wheels.from.lateral.pressure .This.applies.particu-
larly.during.transport.and.particularly.to.disc.wheels.(runDkurs
Disc,.autobahn).and.also.for.the.FernWeg.series
•Î Do.not.store.your.wheels.below.-15.°C.(5.°F).or.above.55.°C.
(131.°F).ambient.temperature
The covers of the Lightweight Aero
wheels consist of 1 layer of carbon with reduced wall thickness and
they can be easily damaged.
•Î Do.not.hang.your.bicycle.on.a.hook.by.the.Aero.front.or.rear.
wheel
•Î When.transporting.your.bicycle.on.a.car.rack,.make.sure.that.the.
straps,.hooks.etc .cannot.damage.the.covers.–.use.suitable.pad-
ding.where.necessary.to.ensure.that.any.pressure.is.evenly.dis-
tributed.over.a.wide.area .[B1]
SAFETY LABEL
.A.safety.label.is.placed.on.both.sides.of.the.rim.on.every.Light-
weight.clincher.wheel .[B2]
Replace.the.safety.labels.if.they.become.illegible.or.damaged
Send.us.a.postage-paid.return.envelope.with.your.address .You.will.
then.receive.the.desired.safety.labels.at.no.extra.charge
DISPOSAL
If.defective.or.no.longer.in.use,.you.can.dispose.of.your.wheels.with.
your.non-recyclable.waste.or.domestic.refuse.or.ask.a.local.waste.
disposal.company.for.other.ways.of.disposal.(e g .recycling)
You.can.also.send.your.wheels.to.us .They.will.then.be.disposed.of.in.
a.way.that.is.harmless.to.the.environment.–see.Crashreplacement,.
