Further important notes on your
PORSCHE Bike RS and Porsche Bike S
Handling the quick releases
Quick releases on the front and rear wheel and on the
seat collar enable easy installation and removal of the
wheels and rapid adjustment of the seat height for the
rider. You should check the seat releases have been
tightened before each trip and the wheels and seat
collar are firmly mounted on the bike.
When closed, the quick release exerts the clamping
force needed to fix the components in place using
an eccentric. The locking nut on the opposite side of
the hub sets the clamp’s pre-stress.
The wheel quick releases are located on the front and
rear wheel on the side opposite the derailleur, that is,
the left side in the direction of travel. When mounting
the wheels, make sure that the quick releases are
always on this side to prevent improper mounting.
When parking your bike, make sure that the parts
clamped with quick releases are adequately secured
against theft.
