ASSEMBLY PEDALS TO CRANK ARMS

GIANT MT13 Clipless pedals have 9/16″ x 20T threaded spindles. The right pedal (marked R) is assembled in a clockwise direction. The left pedal (marked L) is assembled in a counter-clockwise direction.

1. Lubricate spindle thread prior to assembly.
2. Use a thin 15mm wrench or 6mm Allen key for assembly.
3. Tighten well but avoid excessive force. Recommended torque is 34Nm (340 kgf/cm)

ASSEMBLY OF CLEATS TO CYCLING SHOES

The cleats supplied are adaptable for all standard SPD cycling shoes. GIANT cleats, supplied with your pedals, allow 4° lateral foot rotation, just enough to relieve knee stress. Use a 4mm allen tool for assembly.

1. Using the bolts (lubricate prior to use), and washers supplied, attach the cleats tightly to the bolt receiver holes in the shoes.
2. The lateral center line of the cleat should be aligned under the center of the ball of the foot. Adjust vertically via slots in shoe sole. Adjust horizontally via play between cleat washer and cleat. Tighten cleats very firmly. See fig. 1. Cleat position can be fine-tuned, according to personal preference after trail use. It may take some time to find your optimum cleat set-up. Refer to shoe manufacturers, instructions for more shoe-specific information.

Recommended torque: 5-16Nm / 50-160kgf/cm

ADJUSTMENT OF PEDAL BINDING TENSION

To adjust tension of the rear binding on pedals, turn 3mm Allen key tension adjustment bolt in the spring cavity (show in fig. 2.)

1. Increase tension in a clockwise direction (+) (for more secure shoe/pedal bind but more difficult engagement and disengagement)
2. Decrease tension in a counter-clockwise direction (-) for less secure shoe/pedal bind easier engagement and disengagement. See fig. 2.
   
   IMPORTANT: Binding tension must be equal on both pedals to achieve a uniform effect when engaging and disengaging cleated shoes.
   MINIMUM TENSION IS RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS AND FOR RIDERS REQUIRING FREQUENT CLEAT RELEASE SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. (SEE CAUTION)

PEDAL USE

1. Engage cleated shoes in pedals by pushing front of cleat into front binding then pushing heel down until rear binding engages on cleats. See fig. 3.
   
   Push forward then down (engages shoe cleat)
2. Disengage by twisting heel outwards (away from bicycle). Cleat will also release by twisting heel inwards if necessary in an emergency situation. See fig. 4.
   Twist heel out (disengages shoe cleat)

CAUTION

1. It will take time to get used to your pedals and cleats. On a stationary bicycle with one foot firmly on the ground, practice engaging and disengaging cleated shoes one foot at a time with binding tension set low.
2. When accustomed to these actions progress to practicing by riding in a safe, traffic-free area until engagement and disengagement become natural actions.
3. Do not over tighten or over loosen tension adjustment Allen bolts (bolt will fall out if too loose, and over tightening may damage thread).
4. Cleats that are badly worn or difficult to disengage should be replaced. Minimize walking in cleated shoes as this accelerates wear.
5. IMPORTANT: use only pedal cleats from GIANT or other compatible cleats with your pedals. To check compatibility ask your bicycle dealer or check engagement or disengagement on a stationary bicycle.

MAINTENANCE

1. To function properly, pedals and cleats must be kept clean.
2. Occasional lubrication of cleat bolts will help prevent rust and seizure.
3. Oil or light grease should be applied occasionally to rear binding springs
4. Pedals should be serviced every 6 months and bearing cartridges should be replaced if rotating pedal emits noise, rotation by hand feels rough or there is play in the bearings.
5. Replace pedals with fractures in body or badly worn or damaged bindings.

ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY A
It is recommended to use GIANT WheelSystems with GIANT Tubeless Systems

CAUTION: When installing GIANT Tubeless Systems (including rim tape, tubeless valve, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tire), please refer to the set up instructions issued by GIANT or consult your local authorized GIANT retailer.

STEP1. To achieve the best cycling performance, we strongly recommend the use of GIANT Tubeless System products (rim tape, tubeless valves, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tires) in combination with your GIANT Tubeless WheelSystem. GIANT Tubeless System products can be purchased from your local authorized GIANT retailer.
STEP2. When installing a tubeless tire on your GIANT Hookless WheelSystem, use it in combination with the GIANT tubeless rim tape, tubeless valves, tubeless sealant and tubeless tire.
STEP3. When installing the rim tape, Ensure the tape is set in the center of the rim bed, covers the entire width of the tire well and make sure that the tape overlaps 15cm on both sides of the valve hole (see Figure 1).

STEP4. For the installation of the tubeless valve, please see Figure 2 and Figure 3. Ensure that the provided O-ring seal is positioned correctly between lock-ring and rim (see Figure 2) Attach the lock-ring to the valve and tighten it finger tight. Do not use any kind of tools to tighten the valve lock-ring.
STEP5. For the installation of tubeless tires, please see “ASSEMBLY B, How to install tubeless tires on GIANT Tubeless WheelSystem.”
STEP6. For filling the sealant, please see “ASSEMBLY C, How to add sealant into GIANT Tubeless WheelSystem.”

WARNING:

• The use of a tubeless tire with GIANT Tubeless WheelSystems without GIANT recommended tubeless rim tape and tubeless valves can result in inflation failure.
• We strongly advice against the use of tire levers when installing the tubeless tire as this may cause structural damage to the tire and/or rim, resulting in inflation failure or sudden loss of air pressure.
• Use of a tubeless tire with a GIANT Tubeless WheelSystems without tire sealant may result in poor air retention and/or lead to sudden air loss in the event of a puncture.
• To achieve the puncture sealing performance, use only GIANT sealant. Using non- GIANT sealant may result in corrosion (tire, rim, and rim tape) or sticky tire and rim, which may lead to abnormal disassembly

CAUTION:
Tire levers which have a sharp edge and/or are made of a metallic material may damage the rim. To prevent rim damage we recommend only using GIANT tire installation tool or the GIANT tire levers which are delivered with the GIANT tubeless WheelSystem.

ASSEMBLY B

How to install tubeless tire on GIANT Tubeless WheelSystem:

STEP1. Start from the opposite side of the valve, insert one side of the tire bead in the center channel of the rim bed (see Figure 4 below, center channel of the whole rim).
STEP2. Start from the opposite side of valve, insert the other side of the tire bead in the center channel of the rim bed (see Figure 4 below). Make sure to work toward the valve as shown in figure below. Ensure the beads of both sides of the tire all around the rim are in the center channel of the rim bed to finish the installation. (Use of Giant tire installation tool and lubricant may reduce the resistance of installation. Giant Tubeless System installation tool and lubricant can be purchased from your local authorized Giant retailer.)

ASSEMBLY C

How to add sealant into a Tubeless GIANT WheelSystem:

Step1：Remove valve core from valve body by using the provided tool. (Figure 5)
Step2：Shake the bottle well to distribute particles throughout the sealant. (Figure 6)
Step3：Using either the Giant Check and Refill Syringe or the bottle nipple, fill sealant through the open valve body. Depending on tire size the volume should be between 30~60 ml per wheel. (We recommend to add 60ml for tires that are 28c and above, and add 30ml for tires that are smaller than 28c) (Figure 7)
Step4：Reinstall the valve core to valve body by using the provided tool. Ensure the valve core and lock ring are firmly tightened. (Figure 8)
Step5：Re-inflate the tire to the lowest maximum tire pressure. (Figure 9)
Step6：Gently shake and spin the WheelSystem to distribute the sealant throughout the inside cavity of the tire and coat the entire inner surface to achieve the best air tight and puncture resistant performance. (Figures 10.1-10.4)
Step7：Install the WheelSystem according to the wheel and/or bicycle owner’s manual, inflate the tire to recommended riding pressure, close the valve and go for a ride.
NOTE: In some cases, the maximum inflation pressure of the tire and rim may be different, in such situation the lowest indicated maximum inflation pressure among them should be followed.

Brake

IMPORTANT:
Braking with carbon rims at slow speed may cause a shuddering sensation. Only use GIANT brake pads for carbon rims to ensure best braking performance. Other pads may not provide sufficient braking performance and could overheat the rim, causing the carbon fibers to delaminate. Failure to follow may lead to personal injury and void of your warranty. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for recommended brake pads.

CAUTION:
Check the compatibility of the brakes, especially the brake interface of the frame, fork and wheel. Mount the brake set and its components to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
When mounting and adjusting rim brake pads, ensure to position the pads at least 3mm from the rim edge (Figure 11). Mounting closer to the rim edge may result in overheating during continuous braking or damage to the carbon fiber.

WARNING:
Incorrect adjustment of the brake pads will void the warranty.
The installation of center lock type disc brake rotor is shown in Figure 12. Please follow the disc brake manufacturer’s instruction for rotor installation.

CAUTION:

• Rims for disc brake wheels are designed to be used with disc brakes only. Do not use rim brakes on a disc brake wheel.
• Rims damaged by using non- GIANT exclusive brake pads are not covered by the product warranty.
• A rim will wear out with normal use. Check rims before and after each ride for signs of excessive wear and have the rim replaced as soon as it exhibits any signs that it is worn out or damaged.
• Always brake with both brakes at the same time. Avoid continuous hard braking, this can overheat the rim and may lead to tire failure.
• Braking power is also reduced if the rim is wet or if you have new wheels or new brake pads. Adjust your manner of riding accordingly.
• Consult your local authorized GIANT retailer for any questions on this section.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

1. Load limit of your product (the weight of rider + bike + luggage)
   WheelSystems for road bike: 285 lbs. / 129kg
   WheelSystems for mountain bike: 300lbs / 136kg
   E-bike: Only use E-bike specific wheels. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for more details.
2. Storing your WheelSystems
   Carbon WheelSystems may be damaged by improper storing. Do not hang the bike by the wheel while displaying or storage. (Figure 13)
   CAUTION: Use caution when attaching the bike to a car rack as the unpredictable high forces of the retention devices may cause damage to the wheels.
3. Contact your authorized GIANT retailer for all wheel service needs. Have the spoke tension and the wheel trueness checked regularly. Spoke tension that is too high or too low can cause high operating loads of the wheel components and could lead to a premature failure caused by material fatigue.
   4. Check the wheels before and after every ride for any damage. Do not ride the wheels under any circumstances if there is any damage to the rim or other components of the wheels. For example: deformation of the braking surface, cracks in the rim, broken spokes, and looseness or play in the bearings. If this is the case, contact your authorized GIANT retailer to resolve the problem.
4. Get your bike checked by authorized GIANT retailer after every accident that may result in damage to your WheelSystems.
5. CLEANING:
   • Wheels must be cleaned frequently with a soft sponge and neutral cleaner (such as mild soap and water). Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone, mineral spirits, etc.).
   • Hub: The front and rear hub must be maintained at least once a year. If used regularly under extreme conditions (e.g. strong rain, mud, transport in rain, etc.) the driver body should be maintained more frequently. Frequent maintenance of the hubs guarantees a longer life span and optimal performance over time. Use of high-pressure water or strong cleaner may inject external contaminants into the hub and should be avoided. Do not use strong solvents. (e.g. acetone, mineral spirits, etc.).
   • Sealant: to retain proper air tightness and puncture repair functionality, follow below mentioned maintenance frequency:
     • Every 2 months: check and refill sealant as necessary
     • Every 6 months: check and replace rim tapes as necessary
     • Once per year: Remove old or dry sealant and use only a cloth rag to wipe the inside of the tire.
       Improper maintenance may result in failure of sealant functionalities.

CAUTION: Before riding your bicycle, please check the tire pressure and clean all contaminants and brake pad residue (grit, dirt, oil, etc.) from the tires, brake pad and braking surface (particularly any traces of oil or grease) and check the wear of the brake pads, brake surface of the rim before every ride. Replace worn out brake pads with new ones to maintain optimum braking effect.
CAUTION: If you use Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystems with tubeless tires, please check your tire after riding your bicycle. If big punctures occurred on the tire, please replace your tire.

WARNING:
To avoid damage to your carbon products, please do not store or transport the product in a manner that the product is exposed to constant high temperatures. Excessive heat can damage the resin that joins the carbon fibers. Giant suggests to ensure that the product is kept a minimum of 45cm away from any constant source of heat, for example car exhaust, heaters, open fire, etc.
Do not exceed 150°F (65°C) exposure to your carbon products.
