5. Remove Front Wheel
After removing the front
wheel, close the brake again.
Remove the quick release
from the axle by undoing the
knurled nut. Be careful not to
lose the small cone-shaped
springs.
Put the quick release through
the fork spreader (the short
PVC dowel), and thread on the knurled nut again. Both small cone-
shaped springs should be on the quick release shaft.

4. Open Front Brake
If you have a side-pull brake,
simply flip up the small lever
on the side of the brake.
If you have V-brakes, press
the arms together (A), and
then pull the elbow-shaped
noodle out and up (B) while
pushing the noodle holder
down (C). There is a slot in
the end of the noodle holder for the brake cable to slip out.

6. Install Fork Spreader
Slip the fork spreader
between the drop outs on the

quick release.
The fork spreader will help
prevent damage to your
frame when traveling.
