Formula Linea Operating Manual page 5

LINEA rim is too easy, the tire may be too big. Use only high-quality tires which are
the correct size and require reasonable force in order to be put on. A tire that is too
big may suddenly deflate causing serious accidents, personal injury or death.
•Check with a qualified mechanic to ensure that the selected LINEA wheel is suitable
for the required type of use and to establish an inspection and service schedule that
is right for you.
•Tools supplied by other manufacturers for wheels similar to LINEA wheels may
not be compatible with LINEA wheels. Likewise, tools provided by FORMULA S.a.S
may not be compatible with components/wheels supplied by other manufacturers.
Check with a qualified mechanic or tool manufacturer to ensure compatibility before
using tools supplied by one manufacturer on components/wheels supplied by an-
other manufacturer.
•Failure to verify compatibility of the tools may cause the component to work incor-
rectly or break, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
•The user of LINEA wheels expressly recognizes that there are risks inherent in bi-
cycle riding, including but not limited to failure of a bike component, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.
•By purchasing and using these LINEA wheels, the user expressly, voluntarily and
knowingly accepts and/or assumes these risks, including but not limited to the risk
of passive negligence on the part of FORMULA S.a.S, i.e. for hidden, latent or obvious
defects and exempts FORMULA S.a.S from liability to the fullest extent permitted by
law against any resulting damage.
•Ensure there are no damaged or loose spokes.
•Always make sure that the front and rear wheels are marked "LINEA".
•Make sure the wheels are true before use. Spin the wheel to ensure that it does not
wobble up and down or from side to side. Never use wheels that are not true or that
have broken or damaged spokes.
•Carefully read the FORMULA LINEA wheel instructions before use.
•Carefully follow the scheduled maintenance program as indicated in the relative
paragraph.
•Always use genuine FORMULA S.a.S replacement parts.
•Always use a spoke protection disc on the rear wheel. Check that it is in the correct
position on a regular basis.
BREAK-IN
Once your new hub is placed in service, some settling may occur. Check adjustment
by attaching wheel into dropouts. Ride for 5-10 minutes, check for play or binding,
and readjust if necessary. Recheck after the first 1-5 hours of riding. Check cog lock
ring on rear hubs after the first 20 hours of use, and tighten if necessary. Continue
monitoring for the first 60 hours of use.
During the first 60 hours of use, above average amounts of drag may be noticed. This
is normal as the seals break in, and will soon diminish. If this causes chain sag while
back-pedaling, increase the B-tension (cage tension) on the rear derailleur.
The bearing grease is intentionally overpacked and excess grease may seep from the
bearing seals during the break-in period.
Needle bearings on rear hub (cog side) may results not completely buttery smooth;
this causes a little extra friction on the axle's spin: this is normal, due to the nature of
needle bearing; all will be regularly back to work after 60 hours of use.
