Quick-release Front Wheel
• All quick-release levers should be inspected before every ride
to be sure they are fully closed and secure. Failure to
properly close a quick-release lever can cause loss of control
of the bicycle resulting in injury or death.
• Make sure the wheel is properly seated and the quick-release
lever is properly closed.
WARNING!
❶ Some tire tread patterns have a direction, so compare your
front tire and rear tire of the bicycle so that both tread
patterns face the same way.
❷ Locate the skewer from the small parts carton of your
bicycle.
Figure 3.12
❸ Unscrew the adjustment nut from the skewer, remove outer
spring and slide the skewer through the front wheel axle so
the quick-release lever is on the side of the bike opposite
the chain.
❹ Slide the outer spring over the end of the skewer.
Note:
The smaller end should be in towards the wheel.
❺ Begin to thread the adjustment nut back onto the skewer,
but do not tighten too far. Allow enough play so you can
place the axle into the fork drop out.
❻ Slide the wheel into the fork dropout slots.
Note:
If you
have a wheel with disc brakes insert the disc rotor into the
center of the disc brake at the same time you are inserting
the wheel axle into the fork drop out.
Important!
Be sure the wheel is as centered as possible
between the fork legs.
