Rear Wheel Replacement

1.  Wheel replacement virtually follows the reverse process 

to rear wheel removal

2.  Hold the rear derailleur spring fully back and feed the 

top part of the smallest hub cog into the top part of the 
chain. Fit the wheel into the frame.

3.  Ensure the wheel is centered correctly in the frame and 

then fi rmly secure both axles nuts. To test if the wheel is 
centered, inspect the distance between the front of the 
wheel and the frame chainstay tubes on either side.

4.  Reset the brake quick release and check the brake pad 

clearance. If required, adjust the brake cable/pad clear-
ance.

Caution:

Take care to correctly refi t a rear wheel.  Failure 
to do so may be dangerous.

Rear Wheel Removal

1.  Open the brake quick release. Undo the brake cable 

anchor bolt if greater clearance is required.

2.  Move the chain onto the smallest rear cog.
3.  When the wheel is fi tted with standard axle nuts, loosen 

them with a 15mm wrench.

4.  Hold the derailleur unit and allow the wheel to slide for-

ward out of the frame.

5.  Rest the bike upside down on the handlebars and sad-

dle. After wheel is removed, do not rest bike on rear de-
railleur, as it may be damaged or misaligned as a result.

Note:

 Increase the regularity of maintenance the more you 

ride and use in wet or dusty conditions.
Take care not to over lubricate – excess lubricant should be 
removed to prohibit dirt build up.
