Locate the front wheel 12mm axle bolts, axle caps and 12mm nylock nuts. Also locate the aluminium spacer
tubes for the axles, which are supplied in a bag (along with 4 M5 washers) with the disc brakes. Slide the outside
axle cap over the axle, then push the axle bolt through the hub from the outside of the wheel (the side opposite
the rotor). Now slide the bolt with the complete wheel assembly through the kingpost.
With everything located, slide the aluminium spacer tube over the end of the bolt (now protruding on the inside
of the kingpost), and then tighten the M12 nylock nut onto the thread. A 10mm hex key and a 19mm wrench are
needed to tighten the front wheels. The bolt must be done up quite tight (see table in Appendix A for torque
setting). When using a hex key and wrench, this would be as tight as you can comfortably manage. It is
important that these bolts are tight; you will not damage the bearing by tightening to the required torque.
Repeat the fitting procedure for the other wheel.
2.4a Connecting the front drum brakes.
Note: if you have purchased disc brakes, please refer section 2.4b
If your brake levers have them,
check the ratio adjustment. It should
look like the photo below.
Connect the brake cable barrel at the
brake lever, make sure the brake
cable long black outer casing is
threaded onto the cable inner wire.
Thread the 90 deg bent tube over
the inner brake cable wire and then
add the long threaded adjusting
barrel so that the cable assembly
looks like the picture on the right.
Slide the brake cable adjusting piece
into the lower slot in the brake plate.
Slide the brake cable clamping barrel
onto the brake cable, pull the slack
out of the cable and clamp the barrel
into place.
Adjust the brake by screwing out the
adjuster until the wheel starts to
drag slightly when spun. Screw in
again slightly until the wheel runs
freely. Screw down the locking ring
tightly.
