Replacing a wheel
1. Apply a thin layer of grease to the
quick-release axle.
2. Push the wheel into the front forks
and align with the axle holes.
3. Reinsert the quick-release axle.
4. Move the quick-release lever to the open position.
5. Hook the quick-release lever into the slot and turn it clockwise.
This screws the axle into the thread. Make sure that your wheel is
correctly centered.
6. Close the quick-release lever by turning it up 180˚.
WARNING
Closing the quick-release lever should be so hard that you need to use
the ball of your hand to do it. If not, it can open and loosen the wheel,
which could result in you falling off the bike.
