Troubleshooting
Spokes feel loose after initial rides
It is normal for hand-built wheels to settle. Have the wheel tensioned and trued by a professional mechanic.
Clicking sound under heavy pedal load
Check that the cassette lockring is torqued correctly and that the freehub engagement is free of debris.
Wheel is not tracking straight
Inspect the thru-axle for proper seating and check for any flat spots or severe damage to the rim sidewall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This wheel is designed for frames using the 12 x 142mm thru-axle standard and features a Shimano HG (HyperGlide) freehub body, suitable for standard Shimano or SRAM 8-11 speed cassettes.
Installation: Ensure the thru-axle is greased lightly before installation. Verify the cassette is tightened to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent play on the freehub.
Tire Setup: The 30mm width is optimized for tires between 2.3 and 2.6 inches. Use high-quality tubeless tape and valves for optimal sealant performance.
Maintenance: Check spoke tension after the first few rides, as new wheels often undergo a break-in period. Keep the hub clean and check the freehub body for cassette bite marks during routine drivetrain service.
