Check
that
the front fork
is
assembled properly as
shown in figure 3.
Important: Never squeeze the brake lever when the
wheel is not installed. Failure to follow this
warning will cause brake pads to over travel and
will not allow brake rotor to fit properly.
Place the wheel assembly into the fork dropouts
being careful to align the brake disc into the caliper
slot as the axle is installed into the fork dropouts as
shown in
the pictures in
figure 3.1.
Check brake rotor alignment in the caliper slot. The
wheel should rotate freely without the caliper
rubbing or binding.
The tire should be an equal distance from each side
of the fork.
Note:
If the
lever
can easily be pushed,
this means that it is not secured tightly
enough. If this is the case, use wrench to tighten
the tension adjusting nut.
To mount the front wheel to the fork insert washer
and nut on each side, when tightening make sure the
wheel stays centered on the fork and brake
alignment is proper. Continue tightening until nut is
securely fastened.
•
Check again that the wheel should rotate
freely
without the caliper rubbing or binding. The
tire
should be an equal distance from each side of
the fork.
•
The rear wheel comes assembled on the
frame
.
•
The rear wheel is secured to the frame with a
through axle and lever.
•
You must check the lever tension on the end
of
the through axle to be sure they are tight.
•
Ensure the disc brake rotor is properly
aligned
in the brake caliper and the wheel is properly
aligned in the frame.
•
The wheel should rotate freely without the
brake rotor rubbing or binding in the caliper.
The tire
should be set evenly between the
closest points on
each side of the frame.
