DETAILED MAINTENANCE

Correct QR Axle Setting

Some bicycles have wheel axles that incorporate a Quick Release (QR) mechanism.  This allows 
easy wheel removal without the need for tools.  The mechanism uses a long bolt with an adjusting 

nut on one end, and a lever operating a clam-action tensioner on the other.

Correct adjustment of the QR is vitally important to avoid an accident caused by 
loose wheels.

Warning: Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow the 
wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, causing damage to the bicycle, and 
serious injury or death to the rider. THerefore:

1    Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove   
      your wheels safely.
2     Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place 
       with a quick release.
3     Each time, before your ride, check that the wheel is securely clamped.
