• How often should I service my Extralite hubs?

  Hub internals should be cleaned every 6-12 months in normal dry conditions, or every 3 months in wet conditions. Always service the hub before leaving the wheel unused for more than 1 month.

• What type of grease should be used on the freewheel mechanism?

  Use only soft density grease (such as the original Alugrease Super). Never use medium-dense, sticky, or lithium grease, as this can slow down the floating ring and damage the engagement mechanism.

• What is the warranty period for Extralite products?

  Extralite products are covered by a two-year warranty from the original date of purchase for the original owner, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

• Can I clean my Extralite components with a high-pressure washer?

  No, never use high-pressure spray washing directly on hubs or bearings. Clean externally with warm water and soap.

• Who handles warranty services for Extralite?

  Warranty services are handled by Studio Riva. Defective products must be returned for inspection, and repairs or replacements are at the sole discretion of Studio Riva.
