Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ensure the wheel is compatible with your bike's frame (135 mm O.L.D.) and drivetrain (8/9/10/11 speed).
Installation: Install the disc rotor using the Center-Lock system, tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque. Mount the tire and tube, ensuring proper inflation pressure according to the tire's specifications.
Quick Release: Properly secure the quick-release skewer, ensuring the wheel is firmly in place within the frame.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the wheel for any damage. Clean the wheel with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers, which can force water and contaminants into the hub bearings.
Bearing Adjustment: If the wheel feels loose or stiff, the bearings may need adjustment. This should be performed carefully, or by a qualified mechanic.
