2.3b Fit front disc brake wheels
Note: if you have purchased drum brakes, please refer
section 2.3a
Note: If you have purchased the optional quick-release kit,
please refer to the instructions for its installation in
Accessories Section of this manual.
Identify the left-hand and right-hand wheels (there are tape
labels fastened to the spokes).
First, the disc brake rotors must be mounted on the hubs.
Place the disc rotor on the hub mounting surface. Be sure
that the arrow on the disc is pointing in the same direction of
the forward wheel rotation. Using a Torx T25 driver, install
then tighten the bolts to a torque of 6-7 Nm (4.5-5 ft-lbs).
Note: the bolts have what appears to be paint on their
threads. This is threadlocking adhesive, and it must not be
removed. If you remove and replace the rotor bolts, they
must be held in place with Loctite 243 Threadlocker or
equivalent.
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
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.
