closed, lift the
bicycle and hit the
top of the tire with a
solid blow (Fig. 9).
The wheel should
not come off, be
loose, or move
from side to side.
Disc Brake (Fig. 10):
To attach the front wheel on a disc
brake equipped bike, align the wheel
rotor with the slot in the disc brake
caliper attached to the left hand fork
stanchion.
Once the rotor is aligned with the
caliper slot, review Installing the Front
Wheel on page 27 in order to properly
secure the front wheel quick release.
Note: When installing the front wheel
on a disc brake equipped model, the disc
brake rotor is lined up between the brake
pads in the caliper slot. If the pads are
knocked out of place, the rotor may not
go into the caliper slot. Reset the pads
before attempting to install the wheel.
If your front or rear disc brake needs to
be adjusted or does not apply adequate
stopping power to the wheel, it may need
to be adjusted. Be sure to squeeze the
brake levers to ensure that the brakes are
secured in place and functioning properly
before riding. For adjustment instruction,
please see Brakes on pages 54-55.
Rotating the Stem
Your Montague e-bike comes equipped
with a handlebar stem that folds down
to create the smallest folded bike size
possible. The installation and use of this
stem is unique to Montague. For more
details, please see Proper Maintenance
and Adjustment on page 50.
For packing purposes, the stem is
rotated 180 degrees from the proper
riding position.
To rotate the stem to the riding position:
1. Open the stem quick release (Fig.
11), and begin to fold the stem down
(Fig. 12). This will provide access to
the expander bolt (Fig. 13).
