!
• FT-50W is a special tool for precisely maintaining the
bicycle wheel. Do not use this product for any other
purpose than instructed.
• Remove the quick release (Q/R) skewer from your
wheel before use.
• We recommend removing the tire from the wheel before
use.

wide rims for fat bikes. Remove the spring from the right
side coupling axle when you mount a wide hub.

couplings.
• 12mm or 15mm thru axle type hubs are also compatible.
Insert the supplied adapters in the hub hole for

from the tips is normal. Especially on carbon or softer
metal wheels.
