Congratulations on your new Deda Elementi wheels.
Please read these instructions carefully and follow
them for correct use. An improper installation or wrong
application of the instructions could damage the
product, that will be no more covered under warranty,
damage the bicycle or cause an accident resulting in
injury or death. Since specific tools and experience are
necessary for proper installation, it is recommended that
the product be installed by an official Deda Elementi
dealer or a qualified bicycle technician.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
It is the user's responsibility to examine the product
on a regular basis to determine the need for service
or replacement. Wheels and their components are
products that wear from normal use of the bicycle, for
that reason we recommend cyclists to regularly inspect
their bicycle and parts in order to detect any damage. If
any doubts or problems occurr, discontinue riding the
wheels and have them inspected by an official Deda
Elementi dealer or a qualified bicycle technician.
• These wheels have been designed and intened to
be used on normal paved surfaces. In case of use
on not paved surfaces or off-road, wheels can be
subjected to damages, loose their functioning and
cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• Regularly check the wheels to be certain they
are installed correctly to the bicycle and fastened
securely to the frame and fork through the quick
releases. An incorrect installation of the quick release
can result in the wheel separation from the fork and
cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• If any bicycle fall or accident occur, discontinue
riding the wheels and have them inspected carefully
by an official Deda Elementi dealer or a qualified
bicycle technician. The use of any damaged bicycle
part can cause serious accidents and injury for the
user.
• Deda SL38C wheels use carbon fiber rims that
require specific brake pads using with specil mixture
to guarantee an efficient braking performance e
carbon rim structure integrity over time. Use only
original brake pads Deda Elementi for carbon rims.
Any other different brake pad, as those intended for
carbon rims, can cause malfunctions or decrease
the braking performance and cause serious
accidents and injury for the user.
• Carbon clincher rims can be subjected to overheating
while braking on long descents. This phenomenon
combined to the tire's pressure on the rim hook, it
can bring to the rim's deformation during the use. It
is recommended, in compliance with the traffic laws
and the standard of good conduct of the bicycle, do
not keep the brakes pulled if not for the necessary
time to decelerating or stopping the bicycle. In case
of very long descents, it is recommended to pull
and release the brakes alternatively, in order to allow
a better rim cooling rather than pulling the brakes
carbon clincher
permanently. If the brake fade occurs (the reduction
in stopping power), user must stop the bicycle and
wait for cooling the rims and the brake pads in order
to prevent the deterioration of the parts.
• Bicycle rim is a component subjected to wear
even during normal riding conditions. Inspect the
rim brake surface regularly and discontinue in
case of damages or doubts on the wear status of
the component. In case the rim replacement be
required, plase contact an official Deda Elementi.
The continous use of a worn rim damage the
braking efficiency, cause the component failure and
cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• Adjust the brake pads according to the instructions
included in this user's manual. An incorrect brake
pads adjustment can affect the efficiency of the
wheel braking performance, damage the rims and
cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• Install only bicycle tires compatible with rims technical
specifications included in this user's manual. The
installation of tires not compatible can damage the
rim wheels, invalidate the Deda Elementi Warranty
and cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• Follow the minum inflation pressure recommended
by the tire manufacturer. Never exceed the maximum
inflation pressure permitted for this Deda Elementi
carbon rim of 7 bar / 100 psi. The use of inflation
pressures out of this range can damage the carbon
rim, invalidate the Deda Elementi Warranty and
cause serious accidents and injury for the user.
• Read the whole User's Manual carefully and keep it
in a safe place for later reference.
