How to fasten components securely with a
thru axle
Formula XQR 15 (road bikes and cyclo-cross
bikes)
The Formula thru axle
(e)
for road and cyclo-cross
road bikes is a typical Formula thru axle with an in-
ternal dimension of 100 mm and a thread in the fork.
Mounting wheels
If your bike is equipped with a Formula thru-axle sys-
tem with quick-release lever, put the front wheel into
the fork and mount the rotor in the brake caliper.
Bring the front wheel into the right position between
the drop-outs and slide the axle with open Formula
quick-release levers from the right side through the
drop-out and the hub.
Make sure the quick-release lever is completely open
and lies in the axle recess. When the axle thread en-
gages with the thread of the left fork leg, turn the axle
clockwise. During the first turns you should be able to
turn the thru axle nearly without resistance.
Subsequently, turn the lever forcefully clockwise until
the axle is hand-tight. Make sure the quick-release
lever does not slide off the recess in the axle.
Finish by closing the Formula thru axle quick-release
lever like a usual quick-release lever. The quick-re-
lease lever must not stand out to the front or to the
side and should fit snugly to the lower leg.

Improperly mounted wheels may throw
you off your bike or result in serious ac-
cidents!

Before mounting or replacing a fork/
wheel combination with thru-axle sys-
tem, be sure to read first the operating
instructions of the respective fork or wheel man-
ufacturer on this CENTURION CD-ROM.
