Undo the cotter pin fastening and remove the coupler.

Prepare the bicycle for mounting the coupler by undoing
the screw connection of the rear wheel axle:
–
Quick-release axle: Open the bracket of the quick-release axle and unscrew the cap nut on the
other side of the rear wheel axle.
–
Full axle: Unscrew the nut on the left side of the rear wheel axle.
f
Mount the coupler on the rear wheel axle:
–
Place the large hole of the coupler onto the left side
of the rear wheel axle so that the coupler is facing
outwards.
–
Screw on the dedicated nut and tighten it slightly.
–
Align the rear wheel so that it can turn freely.
–
Align the coupler so that it faces horizontally to the rear.
f
Tighten the connection firmly in order to secure the rear wheel:
–
Quick-release axle: Use the supplied M5 quick release adapter. Tighten the cap nut until you can
close the clamp with a certain amount of pressure.
–
Full axle: Tighten the nut with a spanner. Always pay attention to the bicycle manufacturer’s
notes about the tightening torque.
Danger!
The axle nut must be tightened in order to assure sufficient clamping force. Therefore,
observe the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer’s torque specifications
when tightening the axle nut.
Caution!
Due to the construction of the coupler, slight wear and tear in the form of scratches can
occur at the connection between bicycle frame and coupler. This is not a reason for a com-
plaint.
Danger!
Do not use a washer or similar at the connection between the bicycle frame and coupler
because this could negatively affect the stability of the connection.
Tip!
The provided universal coupler is suitable for mounting on the most rear-wheel models. If it
does not fit your bicycle, find a suitable adapter and special couplers in our manuals on the
