7.7 Removing and re-installing wheels
Removing front wheel
1. Release the front brake.
2.
Release the front hub quick release by rotating
the quick release lever away from the hub until it
is fully open.
3. Turn the adjusting nut on the opposite side
of the hub from the quick release lever ANTI-
CLOCKWISE until the nut and quick release lever
body clears the safety protrusions on the fork tip.
4. The front wheel can now be removed from the
bike.
Re-installing front wheel
1.
Position the wheel in the front fork so that the
quick release lever is located on the left side of
the front fork.
2. Move the quick release lever to the OPEN po-
sition (lever curves away from the hub) and posi-
tion the wheel in the front fork so that the axle is
located in the fork drop-outs.
3. Turn the adjusting nut on the right side of the
hub clockwise such that you feel resistance to
closing the lever when the lever is parallel to the
centreline of the hub.
4. 4. Firmly grip the fork with your left hand, and
push the lever over to the closed position towards
the fork, ensuring that it does not protrude so as
to cause injury to the rider. The lever is securely
tightened when it takes a significant amount of
force to position it in the closed position. The
appropriate amount of force necessary to close
the lever when it is properly adjusted will result in
an imprint of the lever in the palm of your hand.
Once closed, the OPEN designation on the lever
will no longer be visible. When properly closed, it
is impossible to move unless you open it again by
reversing the steps above. If you can easily move
it, open the quick release lever and tighten the
adjusting nut another 180º and try again.
5.
Ensure that the brake disc is correctly inserted
into the brake callipers and is correctly adjusted.
If you are unsure about this brake set-up and
adjustment procedure, please take your A2B to
your A2B dealer and ask for assistance in adjus-
ting the brakes.
Improperly adjusted brakes may cause reduced
braking performance, leading to an accident that
could result in serious or fatal injury and/or pro-
perty damage. DO NOT ride your vehicle if you
are not confident that the brakes are working
properly.
