This supplement is in addition to the Bontrager Wheelset Owner's Manual.

Wheelsets with carbon fiber rims are also supplied with the Bontrager Race X

Lite Carbon wheelset supplement. Please read all of the supplied instruction

manuals thoroughly before using your new track wheel system; they contain

important safety and maintenance information.

If you do not understand the information in this manual, or you have a

question about your track wheel system that this manual does not cover, consult

your Bontrager dealer. If you have a question or problem that your Bontrager

dealer can’t handle, contact us at:

This wheelset, like all track wheels, is designed to be used in a bike frame

with 120mm OLD (Over Locknut Dimension) rear spacing as a 1-speed wheel.

Track wheels with tubular rims are designed to be used with properly attached

tubular-type tires.

The Bontrager Wheelset owner's manual explains how to inspect, adjust, and

lubricate Bontrager wheels. The Bontrager Race X Lite Carbon wheelset supple-

ment explains how to properly use and maintain carbon fiber rims. This section

explains information specific to track wheelsets to users familiar with track

wheels.

Track wheel specifications

The bicycle frame and parts must conform to these fit parameters:

• 120mm +/-1.5mm O.L.D. (Over Locknut Dimension). To use this wheelset

in a frame with wider dropout spacing, a longer axle and spacers must be

installed to provide proper dropout alignment and adequate axle-nut thread

engagement.

• 1.37" x 24tpi ISO cog or freewheel threading. Loose-fitting threads may

damage the hub.

• Left-hand 1.29" x 24tpi lockring threading

• Standard M10x1 axle threads

• Optional axle locknuts with 25.0mm diameter for use with aluminum

frame dropouts (PN 68258).

READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE YOU RIDE

Installation of parts

Incorrect installation of parts may damage the wheelset.

To install a track cog

Only install a track cog on the side of the hub with lockring

threads (Figure 2). If necessary, remove the thread cover and

install the cover on the other side of the hub.

1. Make sure the threads are clean and free of debris.

2. Apply a light coat of Wrench Force® synthetic grease or a

similar lubricant over the threads.

See your dealer for a recommended grease.

3. Start threads by hand, and install the cog.

4. Tighten the cog.

5. Follow steps 1-4 to install the lockring.

To install a single-speed freewheel

Only install a freewheel on the side of the hub without lockring threads. If

necessary, remove the thread cover and install it on the other side of the hub.

1. Make sure the threads are clean and free of debris.

2. Apply a light coat of Wrench Force® synthetic grease or a similar lubricant

over the threads.

See your dealer for a recommended grease.

3. Start threads by hand, and install the freewheel.

4. Tighten the freewheel.

Maintenance

Once a month, apply a drop of oil between the axle nut and its captive washer

(Figure 3).

Once a month, apply a light coat of Wrench Force® synthetic grease or a

similar lubricant over the axle threads. See your dealer for a recommended

grease.

Once a month, adjust the hub bearings.

Special user information

Carbon fiber rims require special care and maintenance.

Tubular tire installation

When preparing these rims for tubular tire installation, do

not sand the rims. Sanding may remove carbon fiber, which

may weaken the rim and cause it to fail. To clean rims, wipe

them with acetone and a clean soft cloth.

WARNING

An improperly installed or tightened track cog can cause

you to lose control and fall. Make sure the cog and lockring

are positioned and tightened properly before riding the bike.
