• We recommend that you take off the wheels if the bike is stored for a long period to prevent
them warping.
• Pump up the tyres with a foot pump or hand pump and a suitable valve connection. Check the
pressure with a pressure gauge.
• Regularly check that the spokes are correctly tensioned. Check more frequently if you ride a lot
on bumpy roads.
Removing the back wheel
1.
Switch the chain over to the smallest sprocket on the cassette.
2.
Open the quick-release on the brake (if there is one).
3.
Unscrew both nuts on the wheel axle (anticlockwise).
4.
Pull the derailleur out slightly so that the wheel comes off more easily.
5.
Pull the wheel forwards, out of the frame
6.
To refi t, put the chain over the small sprocket on the cassette and replace the wheel in its
position between the back fork.
7.
Hold the wheel in this position and tighten the wheel axle nuts clockwise.
8.
The wheel should turn easily, with very little play sideways.
9.
Check that the brakes are working properly.
Back wheel with quick-release lock
Wheels with quick-release are removed in the same way as standard wheels. The only diff erence is
how the wheel axle is removed from the fork. Open the quick-release by turning the lever a half turn.
Fit the back wheel in the same way as you fi t a front wheel with quick-release (see instructions). Check
that the lever on the quick-release is pushed in and that the wheel is properly secured before riding
the bike. Reset the quick-release on the back brakes and check that they are working properly.
