ASSEMBLE THE BIKE: FRONT WHEEL
CAUTION:
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 safely to the forks.
WARNING:
Operating the bike with an improperly adjusted wheel or Quick Release Lever, can allow the
wheel to wobble or fall off the bicycle. This can cause serious injury or death.
Assemble the Bike: Front Wheel
2. Installing the Front Wheel
Install the front wheel by first inserting the Quick Release rod into the wheel axel. There are 2 small springs on the Quick
Release rod that have different diameters on each end. Install the springs so that the ends with the larger diameter are
next to the Quick Release and the round nut. Make sure the round black nut is on the disc side of the wheel and the lock
lever is on the opposite side.
Tighten the round nut onto the rod so the rod threads are almost flush with the outside of the nut. Be careful not to cross
the threads and tighten by hand only.
Place the Quick Release Lever in the open position. Have someone hold and lift the bike by the handlebars to position the
front wheel into the forks. Make sure that you line up the brake disc with the brake calliper when inserting the front wheel
axel into the fork drop outs. Check to ensure that the axel has engaged all the way into the fork dropouts before clamping.

It is essential that you know how to install and remove your wheels safely. If you are unsure ask your local bike shop to
install or assemble your bike and wheels. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place
with a Quick Release Lever. Before each ride of your bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped properly and the Quick
Release Lever is in the correct position and locked.
