Maintenance and Inspection Notice and Advisory
As
with all wheels, there needs to be periodic maintenance and inspection
for structural integrity. This is even more important with carbon fiber
wheels, and this applies to past and present models. Therefore, failure
to properly inspect and maintain your wheels can lead to failure of the
wheels and serious injury to the rider. A brief description of the
necessary inspections is below. However, please contact Spingery, Inc.
for assistance with a detained inspection of its products.
Stealth:
With
our newly designed Stealth carbon fiber road wheels and aluminum rim
wheels, please periodically check the entire rim for cracks and / or
bulging of the carbon fiber (if applicable) and aluminum brake track.
If any cracks, separations or bulging is found in the rim (carbon or
aluminum) the wheel should no longer be used. The rider or mechanic
should also check the spokes for wear and replace as needed.
Previous Models (Including Rev X):
On older models, specifically the Rev X series of wheels, please
inspect the entire wheel on a regular basis. If any cracks, separations
or bulging is found in the rim, the wheel should no longer by used.
(see "Special Note" below) All components on a rider’s bike should fall
under these guidelines, as normal wear and tear can cause gear to break
without notice.
No Fault Replacement Program:
For wheels that fall outside of our standard warranty, we will offer
the No Fault Replacement Program. With this program, if you turn in an
older model wheel, we can pass a great discount to you for a brand new
set of Spinergy wheels. The new Stealth wheels are superior in every
way and are made with a more traditional design. It’s a great way for
you to try out our new patented PBO spokes…if you haven’t tried them
yet, you’re missing out!
Special Note:
Spinergy ceased production of the Rev X wheels in 1999 and we are well
aware that the wheels are still being used, both recreationally and for
racing. As with all carbon fiber products, we recommend these wheels to
be inspected on a regular basis due to the age of the wheels. All
carbon fiber areas on the wheel should be inspected for cracks (these
could be hairline fractures, ensure you look carefully). If any cracks
are found, do NOT ride the wheels. Take them to a licensed mechanic or
call Spinergy, Inc. at 858-450-4300 and have them inspected further.
