REMOVING THE FRONT WHEEL
Cantilever and Linear brakes
Release the Brake Quick Release. (This will allow
the brakes to be opened to let the tyre pass between
the brake blocks).
Side pull brakes
Release the Brake Quick Release. (This will allow
the brakes to be opened to let the tyre pass between
the brake blocks).
Move the Wheel Quick Release Lever to the open
position.
If your bicycle is fitted with secondary retention devices
unwind the Quick Release Lever enough to allow the
wheel to be removed.
If your front wheel is fitted with axle nuts instead of a
Quick Release mechanism, use a spanner of the
correct size to fit the axle nuts.
●
Unwind the axle nut sufficiently to allow the
secondary retention devices to release.
●
Hold the front of the bicycle 30mm to 50mm off the
ground to allow the wheel to be removed.
INSTALLATION OF THE FRONT WHEEL
The installation is the reverse procedure to Removing
the Front Wheel, except:
●
Make sure the wheel axle is correctly positioned in
the fork (see diagram).
●
Position the Quick Release parallel to the front fork
when it is in the CLOSE position. This will prevent
the lever being knocked open whilst riding.
●
The Quick Release Lever is positioned on the left
hand side.
