7A) on each side of the bike, and pull the silver washer
(figure 7B) and each retainer washer (figure 7C) out from
the dropout.
5. Push the wheel forward until the axle comes out of the
rear dropouts. If necessary, deflate the tire slightly so it

bracket.
6. Remove the shifter cable from the retainer (figure 6B)
on the inside of the right chain stay.
7. Note how the shift cable is routed through the guides
on the shift arm (Figure 8B). The cable will have to be
