INSTALL
REAR WHEEL
Take out the rear brake pad spacer
(A)
– this is
usually orange, red or yellow plastic. Once removed
be careful not to squeeze the brake lever until the
rear wheel is in position.
On the non-drive side of the bike loosen the cone
spacer bolt using a 5mm Allen key
(B)
. Listen for
the cone spacer to pop loose, effectively unlocking
the axle from the frame. If it does not pop loose, use
the tip of your 5mm Allen key in a gentle downward
prying motion and pop the cone spacer out
(C)
.
Reinstall the cone spacer and bolt into the axle with
1-2 turns of engagement. Next, using a 5mm Allen
on the drive-side of the bike, loosen the axle in a
clockwise direction. Then remove the axle pulling
from the non-drive side
(D)
.
With your rear wheel in position, align the chain on
the smallest cog of the cassette
(E)
. Your SRAM
derailleur will already be in its ‘locked’ position
making it easier for you to install the wheel. Install
the rear wheel by carefully lining up the rotor with
the rear brake making sure that it slides inside the
caliper body between the brake pads
(F)
, and the hub
spacers slide into the slots on the frame dropouts.
