WHEEL QUICK RELEASE USAGE
Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can
allow the wheel to wobble or fall off the bicycle, which can
cause serious injury or death .
Therefore, it is essential that you:
1. Ask your dealer or a local bike shop to help you make
sure you know how to install and remove your wheels
safely .
2 . Understand and apply the correct technique for
clamping your wheel in place with a quick release .
3 . Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the
wheel is securely clamped .
Installing a quick release front wheel
In a quick release system, the wheel hub is clamped in
place by the force of the quick release cam pushing against
one dropout and pulling the tension-adjusting nut, by way
of the skewer, against the other dropout . (Please refer to
the illustrations below .) The amount of clamping force is
controlled by the adjustment of the tension-adjusting nut .
Turning the tension-adjusting nut clockwise while keeping
the cam lever from rotating increases clamping force;
turning it counterclockwise while keeping the cam lever from
rotating reduces clamping force . Less than half a turn of the
tension-adjusting nut can make the difference between safe
clamping force and unsafe clamping force .
