12. Unthread the adjusting nut from the end of the quick release skewer and remove the tension spring
closest to the adjusting nut.
13. Slide the quick release skewer shaft through the hub axle. Re-install the tension spring with the
narrow end toward the hub axle and thread the adjusting nut a few turns onto the skewer.
If your tires have directional arrows, take note of the direction of rotation, and install your quick
releases with the quick release levers on the non-drive side of the bicycle.

14. Check that the quick release skewer lever is in the open position. Check that the brake quick
release mechanism is open (not pictured).
15. Install the front wheel between dropouts with quick release lever positioned on the non-drive side of
the bike. Check that the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts and clear of any safety tabs.
If your front tire has directional arrows, take note of the direction of rotation and install so that the
quick release lever is on the non-drive side of the bicycle, and the tire rotates in the proper direction.
16. Close the quick release half way, with the quick release lever parallel to the hub axle.
17. Tighten the quick release adjusting nut so that it contacts the dropout. When closing the lever,
tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the horizontal position (90 degrees to the
fork), but you should still be able to reach the fully closed position (90 degrees to the hub axle). The
quick release lever should leave a clear impression on your hand. If the quick release lever does not
leave a clear imprint on your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the quick
release lever and tighten the quick release adjusting nut in small increments until proper tension is
achieved. When closed, the quick release lever should be positioned just behind the non-drive side
fork leg. Reposition the lever as necessary to achieve this orientation.
