Wheel
• Before use, check the wheels to make sure that there are no bent or loose spokes,
dents, scratches or cracks on the rim surface. Do not use the wheel if any of these
problems are found.
• Do not use in combination with bottom link-type suspension forks. With these types of
forks, the clearance between the hub axle and the brake shoes can change due to the
operation of the suspension, so that when the brakes are applied, the brake shoes
may touch the spokes.
• If the quick release mechanism is not used correctly, the wheel may come off the
bicycle and serious injury could result. Read the Service Instructions for the quick
release mechanism thoroughly before use.
• These wheels are designed for riding on paved surfaces. If the wheels are used on
unpaved surfaces, the wheels may become bent or damaged, and accidents may
result.
• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. If the wheels
are loose in any way, they may come off the bicycle and serious injury may result.
• The hollow on the opposite side to the valve hole is an indicator for the amount of rim
wear. If this hollow can no longer be seen, stop using the rim.
If you continue using the rim, it may break, and the bicycle may fall over and an
accident may result.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts.
Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury
may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano
replacement parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for
later reference.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal
use.
• The tires should be inflated to a suitable pressure before use.
• Do not use rim tape. Rim tape may make it difficult to remove and install the tire, and
the tire or tube may become damaged or the tires may suddenly puncture and come
off, and severe injury may result.
• The Shimano R55HC (high performance) brake shoes use an aggressive compound
designed with an emphasis on maximum performance in wet conditions, however they
will cause accelerated rim wear.
Shimano accepts no responsibility for reduced rim life which might occur from using
R55HC brake shoes.
• Use of genuine Shimano spokes, plugs and washers is strongly recommended.
If non-Shimano parts are used, the area where the spokes fit into the hub unit may
become damaged.
• Before use, check that there are no pieces of metal or other foreign objects sticking to
the brake pads. If any such items are present, they may cause damage to the rim
when the brakes are applied.
• We do not recommend that you use general-purpose alkaline puncture repair agents,
as they may cause the rims to corrode and allow air leaks to occur.
• The plugs have large diameters and are easy to rotate in order to make it easier to
increase the spoke tension.However, be careful not to overtighten the plugs when
adjusting the spoke tensions. If the plugs are overtightened, damage to the rim may
result. (We recommended that you ask authorized bicycle dealers to make the
adjustments.)

Note
• Use the rim-side plug to carry out truing and spoke tension adjustment for the WH7850-SL / WH-7850-C24-TL.
• If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease.
• Do not apply any oil to the inside of the hub, otherwise the grease will come out.
• Special spoke wrenches are available as optional accessories.
• We recommend that you ask authorized bicycle dealers to adjust the spoke tensions if
there is any initial play in the spokes and after the first 1,000 km of riding.
• Spoke protectors (CP-WH23) are also sold separately. Please ask your bicycle dealer
for details.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and
maintenance products.
• Reflectors (manufactured by CATEYE) are also sold separately. Please ask your
bicycle dealer for details.

(For rear)
At the rear, a tangent assembly is
used at both the left and right.
For each sprocket, the surface
that has the group mark should
face outward and be positioned
so that the wide parts of the
gear projections on each
sprocket and the A part (where
the groove width is wide) of the
freewheel body are aligned.
The groove is
wide at one
place only.
• For installation of the HG sprockets, use the special tool (TL-LR15) to tighten the lock ring.
• To replace the HG sprockets, use the special tool (TL-LR15) and TL-SR21 to remove the lock ring.

Replacing the spokes
1. Pass the washer and plug over the spoke.
2. After inserting the spoke into the hole in the hub
flange, tighten the nut. When installing, use the
spoke stopper to secure the spoke so that it does not
turn, and then insert a screwdriver or similar tool into
the groove in the nut to screw in the nut.
3. Turn the plug clockwise to screw it into the screw
hole in the rim.
At this time, use the spoke stopper to stop the spoke
from turning.

Note:
• If the washer is not installed, it will not
be possible to adjust the spoke tension,
so be sure to include the washer.
• Tighten the nut as far as the edges of
the thread.
At the front, fit the heads of the spokes securely into the slots in the
hub unit, otherwise damage may occur.

Note:
• When removing and installing the seal, do it very carefully so that the seal does
not become bent.
When reinstalling the seal, make sure that it is facing the right way, and insert it
as far as it will go.
• Do not disassemble the dust-proof cover which is crimped onto the cone.
% After removing the hub axle, remove the freewheel body fixing bolt (inside the
freewheel body), and then replace the freewheel body.
Note:
When replacing the freewheel body, replace the freewheel body fixing bolt
at the same time. Be sure to apply grease to the the thread of the freewheel
body fixing bolt, otherwise looseness or sticking may occur.
Do not attempt to disassemble the freewheel body, because it may result in
a malfunction.
