Quick-release axles

To remove quick-release axles
(Fig. 26) simply press the quick-
release button (1) which is located
in the wheel hub (2), and grip the
wheel through the spokes (3)
around the hub and pull the axle
out of its sleeve (4). To replace,
slide the axle into the sleeve until
the release button ‘pops’ out and
the two locking pins (5) are visible
on the inside (6) of the sleeve.

Warning:

The axle is not secure until the
outside quick-release button pops
out to its fully extended position,
and the locking pins (5) on the
inside of the axle are in the locked
position.
