Depending on the hub type, the existing torque support washer for the hub must stay on the frame. Please follow the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer’s torque specifi cations when fastening the axle nut. If in doubt always ask your specialist retailer.

DANGER

The rear wheels axle nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is too short can lead to accidental loosening of the rear wheel, with damage and accidents as a result.
