the axle resting inside the fork drop out. Important! Be sure
the wheel is as centered as possible between the fork legs.

❻ Place the clip retaining washer on the axle and slide it up
against the fork drop out. Make sure the hooked end is
inside the small hole of the fork dropout. Figure 3.9
❼ Insert the end of each fender brace over the clip retaining
washer. Figure 3.10
❽ Place the two outer axle nuts on and tighten evenly. Tighten
one side part way, then tighten the other side and repeat
until both sides are tightened securely. Be sure that the
wheel remained centered between the fork legs.
❾ If the wheel is off center, loosen the axle nut on the side that
has a smaller gap between tire and fork leg and use your
hand to push the wheel to a centered position; hold the
wheel with one hand and tighten the axle nut and check
again. Repeat if needed to be sure the wheel is centered
and securely tightened.
