Rear brake line and rear derailleur cable

The rear brake line and rear derailleur cable should
be run between the upper and lower fork clamps,
between the bikes headtube and fork leg. 

FRONT WHEEL

The Lefty fork front hub uses a self-extracting bolt to
attach the wheel to the Lefty’s axle spindle. The bolt
is held into the hub by a cap that is screwed into the
non-disc side of the hub using a pin spanner tool.
The self-extracting bolt and cap combination is very
similar to that used on a crankarm, except, a Lefty
hub cap is reverse threaded. The cap should not be
removed; it is there to hold the axle bolts into the
hub. If you do need to remove the cap to replace the

bolt or bearing be sure to reinstall the cap with a
small amount of grease on the cap threads. 

Remember that the cap is a left-hand thread. 

NOTE :

It is not necessary to remove the front wheel to
change an inner tube or tire. Simply remove the
tire from the wheel as you normally would,
making sure to pull the tire off of the non-disc
side of the wheel.

Removing the front wheel

1. Secure the bike upright on a work stand.

2. Loosen (but don’t remove) both disc brake

caliper bolts (5 mm Allen).  

3. Remove the caliper from the mount and away

from the brake disc (rotor). Take note of any
shims present and be sure to reinstall them
later during reassembly. 

CAUTION : 

Don’t let the caliper hang. Support it carefully
out of the work area.   

4. Turn the axle bolt (5 mm Allen) counter-
