high quality, innovative WheelSystem will continue to perform at the highest level.

IMPORTANT:

This manual contains important safety, performance and service

information.

Please read it before installing your new wheels or going for your

first ride and keep it for future reference.

WARNING

Compliance with the following instructions concerning assembly, handling, maintenance

and care of your Giant wheels is essential to provide proper and safe operation.

Disregarding these instructions can lead to accidents resulting in serious injuries or even

death.

Giant WheelSystems are designed and intended for use on a bicycle. The wheel or its

components cannot be used for any other applications or as a tool or toy, or in anymanner

other than that described in this user’s manual. Otherwise, it is at the user’s own risk. If

you are not sure about the use condition of your WheelSystem, please consult your local

authorized Giant retailer for the intended use of the WheelSystem.

Certain Giant WheelSystems are designed to be compatible with tubeless tire (Tubeless

Ready).We strongly recommend to use Giant Tubeless tire products. If you install a non-

tubeless tire on tubeless WheelSystems, a rim tape and inner tube must be installed as

well to prevent the premature tire abrasion or rapid air leakage. The tires should meet the

ETRTO dimension standards to be compatible with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem.

Giant WheelSystems are also compatible with non-tubeless tires. Please make install

tires with tubes and rim tape which are complying with the ETRTO standard.

Giant's WheelSystems are fully tested with Giant's recommended tires. To ensure your

safety and not to affect Giant limited warranty, Giant's WheelSystems must be used with

Giant's tires or originally supplied tires by Giant only.

Using brake pads or tires that are not or recommended by Giant may result in damage to

your WheelSystem and void your warranty.

BEFORE RIDING

Ensure that the wheels are compatible with, and properly installed in your bicycle (build in

dimensions ofthe frame and fork) and compatible with all other parts such astype of brake,

skewers, cassette, tire, inner tube, valve and rim tape.

If the wheel is not assembled correctly or is improperly maintained, it is dangerous and

may cause accidents with serious injury. The wheel must be assembled and maintained

by a qualified professional bicycle mechanic.

If you encounter difficulties, or are uncertain about anything identified in this user’s manual,

please contact your local authorized Giant retailer.

ASSEMBLY

Using Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystems with tubeless

tires:

CAUTION: When assembling Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem (including rim tape,

tubeless valve, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tire), please refer to the set up instructions issued

by Giant or consult a qualified professional bicycle mechanic.

1. A tubeless tire should only be installed on a rim with “Tubeless Ready” marked on the

appearance of a Giant WheelSystem.

2. When assembling a Giant Tubeless

Ready WheelSystem, please use it in

combination with tubeless rim tape,

tubeless valve, tubeless sealant and

tubeless tire. If your wheels are to be

used with rim brakes, we recommend

to use Giant heat resistant tubeless

rim tape.

3. When installing the rim tape, please

ensure the tape is set in the center of

the rim bed, and make sure that the

tape overlaps 15cm on both sides of

the valve hole (Fig. 1).

4. For the installation of the tubeless

valve, please see figure 2 and figure

Please ensure that the provided o-

ring seal is positioned correctly

between lock-ring and rim (Fig. 2)

Attach the lock-ring to the valve and

tighten it finger tight (max. 0.5Nm). Do

not use any kind of tools to tighten the

valve.

5. For the installation of tubeless tires,

please see page 4.”How to install tubeless tires on Giant Tubeless Ready

WheelSystem.”

6. For filling the sealant, please see page 5 ”How to fill sealant into Giant Tubeless

Ready WheelSystem.”

7. To achieve the best cycling performance, we strongly recommend to use Giant Tubeless

System products (rim tape, tubeless valves, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tires) in combination

with your Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem. Giant Tubeless System products can be

purchased from your Giant bicycle retailer.

WARNING: Use of a non-Tubeless tire without an inner tube may result in premature tire

abrasion or rapid air leakage.

WARNING: Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem without a rim

tape and tubeless valve will result in inflation failure.

WARNING: We strongly recommend not to use tire levers when mounting the tubeless tire,

to prevent structural damage of tire and rim which may result in inflation failure.

WARNING: Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem without sealant

may result in poor air tightness and puncture repairing functionality failure.

WARNING: To achievethe bestpuncture repairing performance,we stronglyrecommend you

to use 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.

Using Giant WheelSystems with standard tires, inner

tubes and rim tapes:

1. Instead of using the tubeless valve, which can be removed from the rim, only an inner tube with

a Presta type valve (small valve, Ø 6.5mm) fits into the valve hole of the Giant rim. Never drill

out the valve hole or enlarge it in any otherway.

2. Select rim tapes, inner tubes and tires which comply with ETRTO dimensions to be used with

the Giant WheelSystem and install them as instructed by the manufacturer. Do not use latex

inner tubes as heat generated by braking may damage them.

3. Air pressure: Do not inflate further than pressure limit indicated on the rim surface (see limits

labeled on it). Do not inflate further than recommended pressure limit indicated on the tire (see

recommendation values on the tire).

4. Mount the Shimano® or SRAM® cassette according to the manufacturer‘s recommendations.

CAUTION: Use tire levers carefully if they are needed. Tools with a sharp edge and improper

material of it may damage the rim. To prevent rim damage we recommend only using Giant tire

levers which are delivered with the GiantWheelSystem.

How to install tubeless tire on Giant Tubeless Ready

WheelSystem:

Step 1:

Start from the opposite side of the valve, insert one side of the tire bead in the lowest part of

the rim bed (at in figure below, center bottom of the whole rim).

Step 2:

Start from the opposite side of valve, insert the other side of the tire bead in the lowest part of

the rim bed (at in figure below). Make sure to work toward the valve as shown in figure

below. Insert the beads of both side of the tire all around the rim in the lowest parts of the rim

bed to finish the installation. （Please DO NOT use a tire lever during the installation. Use of

tire installation lubricant may reduce the resistance of installation. Giant Tubeless System

lubricant can be purchased from your Giant bicycle retailer.)

How to fill sealant into Giant Tubeless Ready

WheelSystem:

Step1：Remove valve core from valve body by using the provided tool. (Fig. 4)

Step2：Shake the bottle well to divide particles well in the liquid. (Fig.5)

Step3：Fill sealant through the open valve body. The suggested volume is

(depending on tire size) 30~60 ml per wheel. (Fig. 6)

Step4：Reinstall valve core to valve body by using the provided tool. Ensure the valve core

and lock ring are firmly tightened. (Fig. 7)

Step5：Re-inflate the tire to the lowest maximum tire pressure. (Fig. 8)

Step6：Gently shake and spin theWheelSystem to spread thesealantwell inside theinnercase

of tire and cover the entire inner surface to achieve the best performance. (Fig. 9)

Step7：Assemble the WheelSystem, inflate the tire to recommended riding pressure, close the

valve and go for a ride.

Brakes:

IMPORTANT: Braking with carbon rims at slow speed may cause a shuddering sensation. Only

use Giant recommended brake pads for carbon rims. Other pads may not provide sufficient brake

performance and could overheat the rim, causing the carbon fibers to delaminate. Failure to follow

this may lead to personal injury and void of your warranty. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer

for recommended brake pads.

CAUTION: Do not use latex inner tubes on carbon rims for rim brakes, these can get hot

during hard braking, latex tubes do not withstand heat well which can cause a tire to deflate

suddenly. Failure to comply with this recommendation can void the warranty and may result in

danger. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for recommended inner tubes.

1. 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.

2. When mounting and

adjusting rim brake pads,

please ensure to position the

pads at least 3mm from the

rim edge (Fig. 10). Mounting

closer to the rim edge may

result in overheating during

continuous braking or

damage to the carbon fiber.Wrong adjustment of brake pads will void the warranty.

3. The installation of 6-bolts type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 11. Please follow the disc brake

manufacturer’s instruction for rotor installation.

4. The installation of center lock type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 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 install rim

brake to disc brake wheel.

Rims damaged by using non-Giant exclusive brake pad are not covered by your product

warranty.

A rim will wear out with normal use. Regularly check the degree of 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 or inner tube failure.

Braking power is also reduced if the rim is wet or if you have new wheels or new brake pads.

Please adjust your manner of riding accordingly.

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

WheelSystems for E-bike: Consult an authorized GIANT dealer

2. Storing your WheelSystems

Carbon WheelSystems may be damaged by improper storing.

Do not hang the bike on the wheel while displaying or storage.(Fig. 13)

The carbon section of hybrid carbon-aluminum WheelSystems is not its main structure,

please do not apply external forces on this part as it may get damaged.

CAUTION: Tying the bike with the wheels to a car rack may

cause damage to the wheel because of unpredictable high forces.

3. Contact a qualified professional bicycle mechanic or your Giant

Retailer forallwheel tuning needs. Have the spoke tension andthe

wheel trueness checked regularly. Spoke tension that is too high

or too low can cause high operating loads ofthe wheel components

and could lead to a premature failure caused by material fatigue.

4. Check the wheels regularly 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, e.g. cracks in the rim,

broken spokes, and looseness or play in the bearings. If this is the case, contact your Giant

Retailer or a qualified professional bicycle mechanic to resolve the problem.

5. Get your bike checked by Giant dealer or qualified bike technician after every accident that may

result in damage to yourWheelSystems.

6. CLEANING:

A. Wheels must be cleaned frequently with a soft sponge and a suitable cleaner. Do not use

solvents (e.g. acetone, mineral spirits, etc.).

B. 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 and star

ratchet should be maintained more frequently. Frequent maintenance of the hubs guarantees

Figure13

a longer life span and optimal performance over time. Use of high-pressure water or strong

cleaner may inject external contaminants into the hubandshould be avoided. Do not use strong

solvents. (e.g. acetone, mineral spirits, etc.).

C. Sealant: to retain proper air tightness and puncture repair functionality, please follow below

mentioned maintenance frequency:

Every 2 months: check and refill sealant

Once per year: Remove old or dry sealant and clean 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 ReadyWheelSystems 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.
