seat post clamp - Quick Release

Many Izip and Ezip bicycle models use quick release (QR) levers to facilitate common tasks such as front wheel

removal and seat height adjustment. When properly adjusted, quick release levers are both safe and conve-

nient, but you must understand and apply the correct technique to adjust them properly before riding your bicy-

cle to prevent serious injury or death from a fall.

Quick release levers use a cam action to clamp the wheel or other components in place. Because of their

adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand how they work, how to use them properly, and how much force

you need to apply to secure them.

Warning:

The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the wheel securely. Holding the nut with one hand

and turning the lever like a wing nut is NOT a safe or effective way to close a quick release and will not clamp the

wheel or other components safely.

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.

adjusting a quick release seatpost clamp

In a seatpost quick release system, the seatpost is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam

pushing against one side of the clamp and pulling the tension adjusting nut, by way of the skewer, against the

other. The amount of clamping force is controlled by 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.
