In case of problems with the function of the product, it must not be used. In this case, contact your dealer immediately!

Assembly

Theassembly instructions must be followed!Failure to follow the instructions can lead todefects and injuries! If the necessary tools for correct installation are not available, the installation must be carried out by aspecialist workshop using the appropriate tools!Technical data for the product can be found on our website in the product description and for download in the service area.

Please read the instructions for our hubs before using your wheel. You can find also more information about the basic structure and assembly of the hubs:

Hubs front & rear

Mounting rim tape

Before the wheel can be used, a rim tape must be mounted. The rim tape prevents damage to the tube through the holes in the rim and ensures an airtight rim base when using a tubeless system.

The rim tape must be mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Mounting tyres

After the rim tape has been fitted, a tyre must be fitted to the rim. The tyre width must be selected to match the inside width of the rim. Information on suitable tyre-rim combinations can be found on the respective product page on our website.

The tyres must be mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Freehub Compatibility & Spacer

Our freehub bodies for XD/XDR and SH-HG10/11/12 come with a 1.85 mm spacer to ensure compatibility with a wide range of cassettes. Please make sure to consult the compatibility information provided by the respective manufacturers. For detailed cassette compatibility charts, refer to the official resources below:

Intended use

Our products are designed and tested according to the current standards, which define the safety requirements and test methods for mountain bikes off-road and racing bikes for amateur use on public roads. In both cases, the standards for bikes with adjustable saddle height with a minimum saddle height of 635mm apply.

The standards mentioned do not apply to special types of bicycles such as tandems or bicycles which are used for special applications such as tough competition, stunts or acrobatics.

The standards also do not apply to bicycles with a saddle height ≤ 435mm and a saddle height between 435mm and 635mm.

Please note that our products may only be used in the amateur sector under normal conditions.

Storage & transport

When storing or transporting tune components for a longer period of time, follow these guidelines:

  • Components must be stored and transported at a temperature of 15-30°C and max. 70% relative humidity.
  • Components must not be exposed to direct or indirect sunlight. Ideally, storage and transport take place in a dark place or covered.
  • Avoid large temperature fluctuations, e.g. in a car parked in the sun. Torques must be checked again after storage or transport with large temperature differences to ensure proper function.
  • Components must be cleaned and checked for proper function before storage. Before the next operation, a new check for functionality must be carried out.
  • Wheels should be stored and transported with the tyres fitted. The mounted tyre reduces the spoke tension and thus the load on the hub flange.
  • Do not hang up carbon rims or entire bicycles, as the point load can cause permanent damage to the rim.
  • Do not hang up stored bicycles by the saddle to reduce the load on the saddle and seat post.
