Wheel quick release
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by unfastened quick release
A faulty or incorrectly installed quick release may
become caught in the brake disc and block the wheel.
This will cause a crash.
Install the front wheel quick release lever on the
opposite side to the brake disc.
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by faulty or incorrectly installed
quick release
The brake disc becomes very hot during operation.
Parts of the quick release may become damaged as a
result. The quick release comes loose. This will result
in a crash and injuries.
The front wheel quick release lever and the brake
disc must be situated on opposite sides.
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the quick
release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a detrimental
transmission of force. The suspension fork or the
frame may break. This will result in a crash and
injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified set
clamping force.
