TUBELESS MOUNTAIN WHEELS
C
ongratulations on your purchase of Easton wheels. To
• The Easton Quick Releases must be used correctly to prevent
the wheel from disengaging from the bicycle. Read and
understand the Easton Quick Release instructions before using
wheels. If unsure about Easton Quick Release operation, please
consult with an authorized professional bike shop for proper
operation and instruction.
• Attach wheel reflectors (available separately) to your wheels
for safety during periods of poor visibility.
1. Installing tubeless tire valves
• Install the valve so that it mates correctly with the rim
(Figure 1). When tightening the valve nut, check that the valve
does not turn together with the valve nut.
CAUTION!
Do not over-tighten valve or valve/rim damage could result.
2. Installing the tire
• Insert the bead on one side of the tire (Figure 2). Check that
there are no foreign particles in the tire bead, rim and valve
at this time.
• Insert the bead on the other side of the tire starting from the
point opposite the valve stem (Figure 3).
• It will become more difficult to insert the bead near the valve
stem. In such cases, lift up the bead by hand starting from the
opposite side of the tire and work your way around to the valve
stem (Figure 4).
• Grip the tire with both hands as shown in the illustration and
insert the tire into the rim (Figure 5).
3. Inflating the tire
• Inflate the tire to lock the beads of the tires into the rim
(Figure 6).
• Verify that the centering band on the tire sidewall is evenly
spaced around the rim edge.
• Deflate the tire and check that the bead is locked into the rim.
If the bead separates from the rim when the tire is deflated,
the beads are not locked into the rim. Apply soapy water to the
beads and reinflate to lock the beads into the rim.
• Inflate tire to riding pressure.
• Tire pressure should always be 29–58 psi. Do not exceed the
tire manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating.
4. Removing the tire
• To remove a tire, deflate the tire and, away from the valve
stem, push one bead of the tire into the center of the rim
(Figure 7).
Note:
Be sure to only push in the bead on one side of the tire
and then remove it from the rim. If you push the beads in on
both sides, the tire will be difficult to remove. If you push in
the beads on both sides, inflate the tire once more to lock the
beads, and then remove the tire by starting the procedure from
the beginning.
• Remove the bead on one side of the tire starting from the point
closest to the air valve and then remove the bead on the other
side of the tire (Figure 8).
5. Use of inner tubes
WARNING!
Do not use rim tape, with or without an inner tube. Rim tape
may make it difficult to remove and install the tire, and the
tire or tube may become damaged or the tires may suddenly
puncture and come off, and severe injury may result.
• If tire is mounted and beads are already seated, unseat then
remove one tire bead only (Figure 9).
• If tire is not mounted, follow steps 1 and 2 (above). Inserting
inner tube as instructed below.
• Loosen the valve nut and remove the tubeless valve.
• Liberally moisten the outer edge of the rim and the tire bead,
and place the slightly-inflated inner tube inside the tire so that
it can slide smoothly.
• Only use a Presta valve inner tube of the correct size to fit the
tire. Contact your dealer for compatible inner tubes.
• Insert the second tire bead starting opposite the valve stem.
Be careful not to pinch the tube at this time. If necessary use
soapy water. Finish installing tire bead at valve stem.
• Inflate the inner tube until the tire beads lock into place.
6. Slow air leak troubleshooting
• With tire inflated, immerse bottom of tire/rim in water or use
soap and water mix to determine leak location.
• Inspect tire bead and rim seat for damage which could prevent
air-tight sealing.
• Confirm tire is not punctured or damaged.
WARNING
Never use a damaged tire or the tire could fail during use.
• Confirm there is no dirt/debris on the tire bead or rim bead
seat.
• Confirm valve is tight in rim.
CAUTION!
Do not over-tighten valve or valve/rim damage could result.
• Inflate to maximum tire pressure to confirm tire beads are
seated. If not seated, repeat steps 2 and 3, using soapy water
to improve bead seating.
• If no rim damage is found, replace tire.
7. Tire Sealant
• Refer to tire manufacturer’s specifications regarding sealant
use. Many tire manufacturers prohibit sealant use.
8. Mounting a Cassette
• Lightly grease the outside of the cassette body splines
(Figure 11) before mounting cassette.
• Lightly grease the lock ring threads (Figure 12) and torque the
lock ring in place to 30-50 Nm (260-435 in-lbs).
Note:
In use, the smallest 2 or 3 cogs typically create small
dents in the splines of the alloy cassette body. This is normal,
and not a sign of excess loads or incorrect installation.
9. Mounting a Disc Brake
• When mounting rotors, follow disc brake manufacturer
instructions. Follow manufacturer instructions for rotor bolt
torque.
• For proper rotor fastening onto hubs, rotor bolt length must not
exceed 12 mm. If rotor bolts are longer than 12 mm, contact
manufacturer for shorter bolts. Do not use bolts other than
supplied by brake manufacturer.
• Replace disc brake pads at interval recommended by brake
manufacturer to prevent loss of braking control or rotor
damage.
10. Before Your Ride
• Before each ride, check that both wheel quick releases are
securely fastened.
Riding with an improperly adjusted
wheel quick release can allow the wheel to wobble or fall
off the bicycle, which can cause serious injury or death.
• Before each ride, check rims and hubs of both wheels for
dents, scratches or cracks; check wheels for trueness; and
make sure that both wheels are true, with no loose or bent
spokes.
A damaged wheel can result in component failure.
•
Keep body parts and loose clothing away from spinning
wheels and brake rotors during use and servicing to avoid
the risk of severe cuts.
• Disc brakes can get extremely hot with use. Do not touch disc
brakes until they have had time to cool.
• Make sure tire pressures are correct, and carefully inspect the
tires before each ride. Replace the tire or tube before riding if
either is worn or damaged.
Incorrect tire pressure, excess
tire wear, or cuts or damage to the tread, sidewall, casing
or inner tube can cause component failure.
• When riding, avoid rim damage from impact on the road or trail
by using correct tire pressure (see chart below) and paying
attention while riding.
Serious rim damage could result in
the tire coming off the rim, or in tire failure. Damaged rims
must be replaced to prevent component failure.
Cross Country Wheels:
30–55 psi
All Mountain/Downhill
Wheels:
25–50 psi
• Patch an inner tube only in an emergency, and replace it before
your next ride.
An inner tube does not retain the strength
and integrity once it has been patched, and could fail,
resulting in loss of control and serious injury or death.
ensure the best performance and longest service life from
your Easton components, please read and carefully follow
these installation instructions.
These instructions are for Easton tubeless/UST wheels only!
If wheels are not tubeless/UST, use the standard Easton
wheel instructions regarding wheels using rim strips.
CAUTION!
Bicycle wheels, like most bicycle components, require special
knowledge, skills and tools for correct installation and
maintenance. All Easton products should be installed and
serviced by a qualified bicycle mechanic using appropriate
professional tools.
Easton assumes no liability for products
which are improperly installed or maintained.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in component
failure. Component failure can lead to loss of control of the
bicycle and result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not use rim tape, with or without an inner tube. Rim tape
may make it difficult to remove and install the tire. The tire
or tube may become damaged or the tires may suddenly
puncture and come off. Severe injury may result.
CAUTION!
– Only use Approved for Tubeless Use/UST tires.
– Always check tire pressure before riding.
– Tire pressure should always be 29–58 psi. Do not exceed the
tire manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating.
– Tubeless tires should always be installed and removed by
hand. Never use tools such as tire levers as they can damage
the seal between the tires and the rims and cause air to leak
out from the tires.
– Do not tighten the valve nut too much, otherwise the valve seal
may become warped and air leaks may occur.
Note:
If the tires are difficult to fit, use plain water or soapy
water to help them slide more easily.
– Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
Before you start
To get the maximum performance, reliability and enjoyment from
your Easton wheels, there are a few things you need to know,
understand and do. Please do not skip reading this entire section.
What you miss could result in mechanical malfunction or
component failure.
If there is anything in these instructions
which you do not understand, please consult with your Easton
dealer before proceeding.
• Easton wheels should only be used with forks that have
secondary wheel retention safety tabs on the dropouts to
prevent accidental loss of the wheel.
Loss of a wheel can
result in serious injury or death.
• Always use Easton wheel quick releases, and always follow the
Easton Quick Release Instructions which are in this Instruction
Manual.
Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick
release can allow the wheel to wobble or fall off the
bicycle, which can cause serious injury or death.
• Easton makes different wheel models for different specific
purposes: Road, Cyclocross, Cross Country, All-Mountain,
Downhill, etc.
Subjecting the wheels to uses for which they
were not designed can result in component failure.
• Easton mountain wheels with disc brake hubs use the
International Standard 15.3 mm mount for 135 or 150 mm rear
wheel, 10.5 mm for 100 mm front wheel, or 15.5 mm for 110
mm front wheel with 20 mm through axle.
• If the wheel rims are labeled “DISC BRAKE ONLY” (Figure 10),
do not use the wheel on a bicycle with rim brakes.
Using
rim brakes on rims designed for disc brake use only will
damage the rims and can cause component failure.

11. Maintenance
• Wheel truing, spoke tensioning, hub and cassette body
maintenance, like many other bicycle maintenance and repair
procedures, require skill, experience and special tools. Easton
urges you to have all wheel service performed only by an
Easton Service Center. If you insist on performing some or all
of these procedures yourself, we urge you to have an Easton
Service Center check your work before you ride the bike.
Errors
in maintenance, service and repair procedures can result
in component failure and will void the warranty. Repair at
a shop other than an Easton Service Center also may void
the warranty.
• Frequency of maintenance is a function of riding style, mileage
and environment. Discuss how, how often, and where you ride
with your Easton Dealer, and ask the Dealer to recommend an
inspection and service schedule that is right for you.
• Do not wash hubs using a high-pressure washer or special
solvents.
Grease could be washed from the hub and/or
cassette body bearings, which could result in component
failure.
• If there are signs of loose spokes or excessive rim runout after
250 mi (400 km), wheels should be re-tensioned and trued by
an authorized Easton Repair Center. This service is not covered
by warranty, so you may be charged for it.
Riding with wheels
that are out of true can result in loss of braking, loss of
control or component failure.
• Rear wheels are subjected to higher loads and stress than
front wheels and may require more frequent tension and true
adjustment.
• Periodically inspect the rim, spoke holes, and seam for dents,
damage and cracks. On rim brake rims, periodically clean rim
brake surfaces with alcohol for best performance.
•
Excessive wear on brake surfaces can result in rim failure
and loss of control. Replace rims if you see excessive
brake surface wear.
• To maintain maximum rim brake effectiveness and prevent
possible rim damage, replace brake pads when worn.
Riding
with worn brake pads can result in loss of braking, loss of
control or component failure.
• Use only genuine Easton replacement parts.
Use of non-
Easton parts could result in damage or component failure,
and will void the warranty.
• Use only Easton brand or Easton recommended greases and
lubricants for maximum product life and performance.

• Swing lever to horizontal (ADJUST) position 13b, making sure
lever cam is correctly seated in cam guide washer (14b); then,
holding lever in ADJUST position with one hand, tighten (turn
clockwise) tension adjusting nut (13d) with other hand until
Quick Release clamping surfaces (13e) are finger tight against
dropouts.
• Make sure wheel is fully seated in dropouts and centered; then
swing lever into position 13a (CLOSED), at right angle to hub
axle and either behind or in front of fork blade (front wheel) or
chain or seat stay (rear wheel). To apply enough clamping force,
you should have to wrap fingers around fork blade (front wheel)
or chain or seat stay (rear wheel) for leverage, and lever should
leave a clear imprint in your palm.
WARNING!
If you can fully close quick release without wrapping your
fingers around fork blade or frame tube for leverage, and
lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand,
the tension is insufficient. Open lever to position 13b; turn
tension adjusting nut (13d) clockwise a quarter turn; then
try again. If you cannot swing lever all the way to its Detent
Stop (14c) when moving it to position 13a, open it to position
13b, turn nut (13d) counter-clockwise a quarter turn; then
try again.
• If bike has rim brakes, close brake quick release.
• Make sure brakes are operating correctly.
Quick Release
Easton quick release levers should only be used with forks that
have secondary wheel retention safety tabs on the dropouts to
prevent accidental loss of wheel.
WARNING!
Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can
allow the wheel to wobble or fall off the bicycle, which can
cause serious injury or death. Therefore, it is essential that
you:
• Make sure you know how to install and remove your wheels
safely.
• Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your
wheel in place with a quick release.
• Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheels are
securely clamped.
TO REMOVE A WHEEL
• If bike has rim brakes, disengage brake quick-release.
• Swing lever from position 13a, (CLOSED) to position 13c,
(OPEN); then turn Tension Adjusting Nut (13d) counterclockwise,
if needed, until wheel can come out of dropouts. You may have
to tap top of wheel with palm of hand to knock wheel out of
dropouts.
ALWAYS:
Be sure to correctly re-tension quick-release
mechanism every time you re-install a wheel. Each time you get
ready to ride any bike, check wheel quick releases to make sure
they are securely clamped.
LUBRICATION:
Periodically clean and lubricate lever’s cam
surface (14b) and cam guide washer (14a), cam pivot and skewer
threads.
TO INSTALL A WHEEL
• If bike has rim brakes, disengage brake quick-release.
CAUTION!
If bike has disc brakes, be careful not to damage disc,
caliper or brake pads when inserting disc into caliper. Never
activate a disc brake’s control lever unless disc is correctly
inserted in caliper.
