Wheel installation

 Your Montague bicycle could use two 

different types of wheel attachment 

devices. Carefully read the instructions 

for the devices on your bicycle.

•  Traditional quick-release

•  Threaded axle and nut 

To install a wheel with a traditional 

quick-release

1.   Move the quick release lever to the 

OPEN position (Fig. 54) and set the 

wheel so it fully engages the frame 

dropouts. 

2.   With the lever in the MID position 

(Fig. 54), tighten the adjusting nut 

(Fig. 53) until it is slightly tight.

DO NOT change or swap wheels be-

tween different bicycles. Your wheels 

may not engage the other bicycle’s 

fork correctly causing an accident. 

    WARNING

PROPER MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 

CONTINUED

3.   Move the quick release into the 

closed position (Fig. 54) with the 

palm of your hand.

4.   A properly closed quick release lever 

should leave a mark on the palm of 

your hand from closing.

5.   If you can lock the lever with little 

or no resistance, the clamp-force is 

not sufficient. Go back to step 2 and 

tighten the adjustment nut 1/4 turn 

and return to step 3. 

6.   Examine for correct quick release 

adjustment. With the quick release 

closed, lift the bicycle and hit the 

top of the tire with a solid blow (Fig. 

9 page 28). The wheel should not 

come off, be loose, or move from 

side to side.

To remove a wheel with a traditional 

quick-release:

1.  Open quick release lever (Fig. 54).

2.  Decrease the tightness of the 

adjustment nut; turn it approximately 

three full turns.
