Assembly: Install Front Wheel
Fig. 19 Install front wheel.
20. Install Front Wheel
Now install the front wheel.
Make certain the wheel is
fully seated in the fork drop
outs, and securely close the
quick release as illustrated
in the quick release safety
section. If you have a side-
pull brake, close the small
lever on the brake caliper
at this point. If you have a disc brake, slide the disc between the
brake pads: the alignment should be correct when the wheel is fully
seated in the fork drop outs.
22. Close V-Brake
Close the V-brake in the
reverse order of opening it.
Press both arms together (A),
and insert the noodle (B) into
the noodle holder (C).
The end of the noodle has a
bullet shaped tip that should
be inside the holder, but just
sticking through the cable keyhole.

21. Reconnect V-Brake
If you have a V- brake, before
closing it check to make cer-
tain that the housing is prop-
erly seated into its ferrules
at both ends. With the brake
open, the housing can slip to
the side and keep the brake
from closing properly. Com-
mon places to check are the
brake lever barrel adjuster (top), and where the housing enters the
noodle (bottom).
