In the chassis currently in use, quick-release ax -
les are also used instead of quick-release fasten-
ers or screws. These quick-release axles work in
the same way as quick-release fasteners:
The axle is screwed into the dropout and holds the
hub between the fork legs. The hub and the axle
are fastened with a quick-release lever, which is
operated like a quick-release fastener . Systems
in which the axle is only inserted or screwed in
and then fastened with a screw also exist. Refer
to the attached component manufacturer instruc-
tions and allow your FLYER specialist retailer to
explain the system to you in detail.
Ask your FLYER specialist retailer to ex -
plain in detail how the wheels and all
relevant parts are to be correctly and
safely attached using the quick-release
fastener or quick-release axle system
installed . Please also follow the fork
manufacturer’s instructions where appli-
cable .
Inappropriately installed wheels may
shift while you are riding or detach from
the vehicle . This may damage the vehi-
cle and lead to severe or life-threatening
injuries to the rider . It is therefore impor-
tant to take note of the following instruc-
tions: Ensure that the axle, dropouts and
quick-release mechanisms are free of
dirt . Take care that they are correctly at-
tached at all times .
Contact your FLYER specialist retailer
and have your vehicle checked if you
are not sure .
Check that all quick-release fasteners
and quick-release axles are firmly at -
tached, even if your FLYER only re-
mained unsupervised for a short time .
You may only start riding when all
quick-release fasteners are firmly
closed .
