Front Wheel Removal
1
Open the brake quick release, if fitted, or slacken the brake cable adjuster.

If wheel is fitted with standard axle nuts, use a spanner to loosen them off. If secondary
retention devices are fitted you will need to loosen the nuts sufficiently to allow clearance to
remove the wheel.
3
If a quick release axle is fitted, move the lever to the open position. If secondary retention
devices are fitted, loosen the adjusting nut at the opposite end to the QR lever enough to
allow the wheel to be removed.

Front Wheel replacement
1
Replacement follows almost the reverse sequence to removal.
2
Place the wheel into the frame ensuring that the axle fits well up against the fork end slots.
You may need to slightly prise apart the fork legs.
3
If the wheel has a QR axle, ensure the quick release lever is open and on the left side of the
bicycle. Check that the QR tension is correct and close the lever so that it is parallel to the
fork. This position will prevent accidental opening when riding.
4
If secondary retention devices are fitted, make sure they are correctly located in the fork
ends.
5
Tighten both axle nuts firmly, if fitted. tighten to 22-26 Newton metres if using a torque
wrench
6
Re-set the brake quick-release or re-tension the brake cable adjuster.
