Lockring threads 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. Apply a light coat of Wrench Force® synthetic grease or a similar lubricant over the threads. Follow steps 1-4 to install the lockring. Figure 2- Track-cog side of hub To install a single-speed freewheel Only install a freewheel on the side of the hub without lockring threads.

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. 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. Once a month, adjust the hub bearings. Special user information Carbon fiber rims require special care and maintenance. Oil here Tubular tire installation When preparing these rims for tubular tire installation, do not sand the rims.
