FITTING THE FRONT WHEEL 

i

ii

A

Before fitting the front wheel, you must open the 

brake arms by releasing the brake cable:

Slightly loosen the front brake on the forks 

by releasing the brake cable pinch bolt. To 

do this turn it anti-clockwise with the 

spanner provided as shown.

This will open up the break pads so the 

wheel fits through.
