Front Wheel Removal

1. Open the brake quick release, if fitted, or screw in the brake cable adjuster. You may need to undo the brake cable anchor bolt if more clearance

is required.

2. Where standard axle nuts are present use a spanner to loosen. If secondary retention devices are fitted slacken the nuts enough to give clearance to remove the wheel.

3. Turn the lever to the open position if a quick release axle is fitted. Where the secondary retention devices are fitted, the adjusting nut at the opposite end to the Quick Release lever needs to be loosened sufficiently to permit the wheel to be removed.

4. Remove the wheel.

 

Front Wheel Replacement

 

1. Guide the wheel into the frame ensuring that the

 

axle fits well up against the fork slots. The fork

 

legs may need to be slightly prised apart.

 

2. If the wheel has a Quick Release axle, ensure the

 

quick release lever is open on the left side of the

 

bicycle. Check Quick Release tension and close

 

the lever when adequate tension is achieved.

 

When closed the lever should be parallel to the

 

fork to prevent accidental opening when riding.

 

3. When secondary retention devices are present,

 

ensure they are properly lodged in the fork ends.

 

4. If fitted, firmly fasten both axle nuts.

 

5. Re-set the brake quick-release and inspect the

 

brake pad clearance. If able, adjust the brake

 

cable/pad clearance.

 

WARNING:

 

The secondary retention device is crucial to safe riding. Tampering with

 

or removal of this device may cause serious injury or death. It may also

 

void your warranty.

 

CAUTION:

 

You need to ensure the tension of the quick release lever is sufficient. To tighten,

 

open the lever and turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a quarter turn until you

 

can only fully close the quick release by wrapping your fingers around the fork for

 

leverage, and the lever leaves a clear imprint in the palm of your hand.

 

WARNING:

 

Quick release adjustments are still necessary even if secondary retention devices

 

are fitted. Failure to properly adjust the quick release mechanism may lead to

29

wheel instability, which ultimately could cause the rider to lose control and fall.
