Installing the wheels with quick release
Open the clamping lever.
Push the opened clamping lever with the wheel
axle from the right-hand side through the hub.
Clamp the wheel and set the clamping force,
depending on the version.
Crash caused by unfastened quick release
A faulty or incorrectly installed quick release may
become caught in the disc brake and block the
wheel. This will cause a crash.
u
Install the front wheel quick release lever on the
opposite side to the disc brake.
Crash caused by faulty or incorrectly installed quick
release
The disc brake becomes very hot during operation.
Parts of the quick release may become damaged as
a result. The quick release may loosen up and
ultimately this could result in an crash accident.
u
The front wheel quick release lever and the disc
rotor
must be situated on opposite sides.
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the quick
release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a detrimental
transmission of force. The suspension fork or the
frame may break. This will result in a crash and
injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified set
clamping force.
