GENERAL INDICATIONS

1
We thank you for buying the K4 wheels, a product that will guaran-
tee you security and functionality through the years.
Before proceeding with using the wheels, please read carefully the
following instruction and store them in a safe place for eventually
reusing.
In the box of wheel set you will find:
• The front wheel arranged with TX-15 system/BOOST
• The rear wheel arranged with TX-12 system/BOOST
• Center lock adaptor kit
• Elastic wheel protection
• Brake rotor lock ring
• The manual of instructions and use of wheels
Warning
!
Any modification or alteration (and graphic) of the product with
non-original spare parts or spare parts not delivered directly
by Fac Michelin S.r.l., involves the expiration of the guarantee.
Warning
!
In case of strange impact caused from bad road base or wheels
transport, we trust to bring the wheels to your mechanic for a
check.
Warning
!
Tyre width section: min 2" / max 2,5"
Warning before using the bicycle:
• Check for proper operation and state of wear of all the compo-
nents before starting to ride.
• The rims have been made with great dimensional precision. If
fitting a tyre on a rim is too easy, it may be too big and this
will have significant implications for safety. We therefore re-
commend using only high quality tyres that require the use of
clincher tyre levers and a reasonable amount of strength to fit
them. Using a tyre that is too big for the rim may cause the
tyre to rupture unexpectedly and cause accidents, physical
injuries or even death.
WARNING! Incorrect rim / clincher tyre coupling may cause
it to deflate, burst or detach suddenly and cause accidents,
serious injuries or even death.
• Check the condition and pressure of the tires fitted to your Mi-
che wheels.
• Pressure must not exceed the limit of 3bar and 43psi signed
behind valve hole.
• A pressure above the maximum written limit may damage the
carbon rim and cause irreparably cracks.
The inflating pressure of the tyres must NOT exceed the LOWER
pressure level between the maximum pressure stated by the tyre
manufacturer.
Excessive tire pressure reduces the grip of the tire on the road
and increases the risk that the tire will unexpectedly burst.
• Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance and
increases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire

pressure. In addition, premature damage to the rim may occur.
The minimum pressure must be equal to 1.3 bar or 19 psi. The
minimum pressure of inflation should NOT ever be below the
HIGHER level between the value of the minimum pressure speci-
fied by the manufacturer of the tire and the one recommended
by the manufacturer of the rim. Incorrect tire pressure could
cause tire failure or loss of control of the bicycle, resulting in
an accident, personal injury or death.
• Check that the wheels are firmly anchored to the frame with
the locking item closed in the correct position (Fig. 9). If there
is the passing through pin, consult the installation instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the bicycle or fork. Attention,
an incorrect locking may cause the detachment of the wheel
and derive in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
• Check the tension of the spokes so as to notice any spokes
which got loose. In the case spokes are loose, contact a qualified
mechanic or special personnel to perform the tensioning. Atten-
tion, the use of wheels not centered properly or with spokes
broken and/or loosen or damaged may cause an accident,
serious injury or death.
• Check that the braking system and the brake pads in the brake
calipers are in good state and that the screws on the disc or the
locking ring of the disc, depending on your model, are properly
locked.
• To the users of more than 78kg weight, Fac Michelin suggests
to check the wheels status to the mechanic every two months
or every 500km.
• If the total weight of your bike and various parts installed
exceeds 105 kg, not used these wheels
• Never wash the pieces with pressure-fed water because water
may get through the seals and cause permanent damage to the
internal components. We recommend washing components with
a sponge, mild soap, and water.
• Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and neat
the seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts.
Carefully rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed parts
to avoid damage, malfunctions and accidents.
• If your component shows signs of rust, this means it has to be
changed urgently as it might be a sign of damage.
