FOUR > TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Understanding how your OHM bicycle works will contribute greatly to
your safety, performance and overall riding enjoyment. We strongly
recommend that you become knowledgeable of the basic technical
information as explained in the following pages and if required,
contact your local dealer for clarification.
4.1 WHEELS
4.1.1 FRONT WHEEL QUICK RELEASE
WARNING:
Riding with an improperly mounted
or adjusted wheel quick release can cause the wheel to
wobble or disengage from the fork, causing injury or
death to the rider. Therefore, it is essential that you:
✔
Ask your dealer to help ensure that you know how to remove
and install the wheel properly.
✔
Understand and apply the correct technique for mounting
your wheel with the quick release device.
✔
Check to see that the wheel is correctly mounted before
every ride.
The wheel quick release uses a cam action to clamp the bike’s wheel
in place (see Fig 4.1.1). Because of its adjustable nature, it is critical
that you understand how it works, how to use it properly, and how
much force you need to apply to secure the wheel.
WARNING:
Holding the nut with one hand and
turning the lever like a wing nut with the other hand until
everything is as tight as you can get it will not clamp the
wheel safely in the dropouts.
Full force of the cam action is
needed to clamp the wheel securely.
ADJUSTING THE QUICK RELEASE MECHANISM
The wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release
cam pushing against one dropout and pulling the tension-adjusting
nut, by way of the skewer, against the other dropout. The tension-
adjusting nut controls the amount of clamping force. 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.
