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. The rear axle features an
integrated pull-out lever that sits inside the axle body.
Simply pull this out, unscrew and remove the rear
axle
(B)
.
Remove any packaging left on the rear wheel,
including the large black plastic rotor guards
(C)
. Be
careful that the metal wheel spacers don’t get pulled
off by accident. If they do just press them back into
position. Do not touch the brake rotors with your
hands or gloves, as any small amount of grease may
contaminate them.
Position the chain on the smallest cog of the cassette
(D)
. If you have a SRAM equipped bike (275 & 29
Expert) the derailleur will already be in its ‘locked’
position making it easier for you to install the wheel.
For the SHIMANO equipped Pro and S model you will
will need to rotate the derailleur down a little to allow
you to position the chain on the cassette more easily
(E)
. Carefully line 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.
