Rear wheel
The rear wheel can be attached using a quick release, nuts or bolts.
1. Remove the rear wheel:
— if you have rear rim brake, open the brake, clipping the holding device off, this allows your brake
pads to be far enough from the rim for your tire to slide past them;
— if the shifting system is the derailleur, shift the rear one to the outermost gear and innermost
front chain ring;
— if the wheel is attached with a quick release, open its lever;
— if the wheel is fastened with bolts, loosen them using a 5 mm hexagon;
— if the wheel is fastened with nuts, (or planetary hub is installed):
а) if a planetary hub is installed, use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the bolt on the bell crank
of the planetary hub and remove it along with the internal gear shift axis;
б) if the wheel is fastened with nuts, loosen them using a 15 mm wrench and release the wheel
from the dropouts.
2. Reinstalling the rear wheel:
— if the shifting system is the derailleur, shift the rear one to the outermost gear and innermost
front chain ring;
— set the wheel into the frame so that the wheel axis fits tight into the dropouts and make sure
that the wheel is in line with the center of the frame;
— if the wheel is attached with a quick release:
а) make sure the quick release is on the non-drive side of the bike;
b) holding the lever in place, tighten the nut on the opposite side until it is pressed against
the dropout;
c) tighten the quick release lever from bottom to top; in the closed position it must be parallel
to the frame;
— if the wheel is fastened with bolts, loosen the axle bolts using a 5 mm hexagon;
— if the wheel is fastened with nuts, (or planetary hub is installed):
а) tighten the nuts with a 15mm open-end wrench;
b) if there is a planetary hub, install the internal gearshift axis and the planetary hub bell crank
onto the nut and tighten the bolt in the back of the planetary bell crank using
a 10 mm wrench;
— if you have a rim brake, close the brake, clipping the holding device on;
— by spinning your wheel, make sure it doesn’t not rub the brake pads, then check the rear brake;
if you have disc brakes, slight friction between the pads and the brake disc is allowed.
WARNING: The quick release should feel tight, but it should not be too difficult to close the lever, only
then the wheel will be fixed in the fork securely. If you can clamp the lever almost without any effort,
open it, tighten the nut slightly on the other side of the axis and then try one more time. Too much
force when tightening the quick release can cause it to burst.
