ROVAL ALLOY RIM WHEELSET OWNER’S GUIDE
THIS BRIEF INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
Congratulations! The Roval wheelset you have chosen is among the finest products available in cycling. This short form installation guide contains instructions and warnings, plus maintenance information.
Please read the following Warnings. Because the failure to follow any Warning may result in a catastrophic failure of the wheels, resulting in serious personal injury or death, this phrase may not be repeated in connection with each Warning.
Warning! Bicycle assembly is a complicated task requiring training and experience, which should only be carried out by a trained and experienced bicycle mechanic. Do not attempt installation of any component if you do not have experience and training as a bicycle mechanic.
MAINTENANCE
•For all repair requirements, the wheels must be sent to the Roval Service center, through your authorized Roval dealer.
•Roval wheels should be regularly inspected by a qualified bicycle technician at an authorized Roval dealer, or by the Roval Service Center. Regular maintenance is essential for maximum service life of the wheel.
•Always use a wheel bag for storage or transportation to prevent damage. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the carbon to yellow over time.
•Use only mild soap and water to clean the wheels. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals.
•Avoid direct contact with pressurized water on the hub to prevent bearing or freehub damage.

recommended by the component |

manufacturer. |
|
• Ensure that the pads are properly |
|
positioned and aligned. |
|
• Ensure that the pads do not touch |
|
the rims when the wheel is rotating. When correctly positioned, the brake
pads should be 1mm away from the
braking surface of the rim. The pads Fig.1 should be positioned 1 to 2mm below the
outer edge of the rim to prevent contact with the tire (fig.1).
BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT! Most brake pads have grooves or wear indicators to show you how much life your pads have left. It’s very important to replace the brake shoes when they are worn to the bottom of the indicators.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
•Ensure that the quick-releases are securely fastened, and that the axles are centered within the dropouts.
•Inspect the rims and tires for any signs of excessive wear.
•Inspect the tires to ensure correct tire pressure and that the beads are properly seated within the rim.
•Ensure that the wheels spin true and smooth with no side-to- side play, and spoke tension is even on all spokes. There should be no contact between the rim and the brake pad.
•Inspect the spokes for any signs of damage.
•Inspect the brakes for any signs of cable damage, excessive brake pad wear or misalignment.
WARNING!
•Do not exceed tire’s maximum pressure rating.
•Do not under inflate tires. Under inflation may allow contact between the rim and the road surface.
• Do not use tires narrower than 21mm. Tires narrower than 21mm may not protect the rim adequately from impacts.
WARNING! Use proper braking techniques. The front brake possesses most of the stopping power and should be used accordingly. Excessive or exclusive use of the rear brake to control speed on long descents is not recommended. Prolonged, continuous use of brakes can build up excessive heat, which may result in failure of rim, tire and/or tube.
Refer to following pages for hub maintenance steps.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS!
•Ensure that the rim’s braking surface is kept clean. Grease, oil and other contaminants can affect braking performance.
•Do not make any modifications to the wheels. To do so will void the warranty and may cause failure.
•Do not ride on components that have been damaged in an accident or have worn beyond their usable limit. ALWAYS HAVE DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS REPLACED BEFORE YOUR NEXT RIDE.
•Many different factors can affect the life span of Roval Wheels. Adverse environmental conditions, impacts, falls, and road hazards may compromise the structural integrity of the wheels and significantly reduce their lifespan. Wheels and related components are subject to wear over time. It is important to have your wheels regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for damage, fatigue, or signs of wear. If the inspection finds any signs of damage (cracks, stress marks, deformations), fatigue or wear immediately replace the wheel or affected part.
•Before each ride, and after any crash, you should carefully inspect your wheels for any dents, gouging, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your wheels show any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an authorized Roval retailer for a complete inspection.
