Owners Manual

Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing our FRX5 composite wheels. Your investment in a set of TAG wheels means you own one of the most durable, low maintenance bicycle wheels around.

Please read all the supplied instructions thoroughly before using your TAG wheels. This manual contains important safety and maintenance information. Also visit our website for important updates. If you do not understand the information in this manual, or you have a question about your wheels that this manual does not cover, consult your professional dealer or contact us.

Important Information

• The FRX5 wheels are made for disc brake use only.
• The maximum specified tire air pressure is 50 PSI. Air pressure above 50 psi can damage the rim.
• The FRX5 wheels are specified for Schrader valve inner tubes only.
• Do not try and unscrew the Lock Nut. It is permanently bonded to the Hub.
• The wheel alignment is factory set and the Hubs are permanently bonded to the wheel. No adjustment for wheel alignment is required or possible.
• The FRX5 rim size accommodates tire sizes from 1.95" to a maximum of 2.6".
• Clean the wheels with water only. Do not use any cleaning solvents. Do not use any type of abrasive sponge.
• Do not store or place in excessive heated areas, and do not place heavy objects on the wheels for extended periods of time.

Installation

• Proper installation of your wheels to your bike is critical. We recommend you contact your professional dealer for proper assembly and installation.
• Mounting the tire - Important to use plastic or composite tire irons only. Use Schrader valve only inner tubes.
• Seating the tire - Important to ensure the tire bead is properly seated to the wheel rim bead. Proper installation of the tire requires partial inflation first to ensure the tire hooked bead is seated to the rim hooked bead. Once tire is seated proceed to complete inflation and check that the tire bead is seated properly to the wheel rim bead.
• Warning: Do not over inflate tires - Maximum recommended tire air pressure is 50 PSI. Increasing air pressure above 50 PSI is not recommended as it will damage the rim.

Proper Maintenance and Service

The best maintenance of a wheel is preventative maintenance. Be aware of things that can go wrong, so you can stop trouble before it happens. Before riding your bike make sure your tires are inflated to the pressure indicated. Inspect your tires for wear and any other damage. Check your hub bearings by spinning the wheel and listen for any grinding or unusual noises. Make sure the brake rotor attachment bolts are tight and that the brakes are working properly. Ensure your wheel bolts or QR skewers are secure and set in the right position.
