4.1.1
Replacing the quick-release
clamp on the lead bicycle
First, open the quick-release lever (
A
)
and remove it completely. Then screw
in the special quick-release clamp (
B
)
and clamp it tight.
Please ensure correct assembly: after
tightening, the lever must run parallel
to the frame strut (
C
) and allow itself
to be folded tightly. If the level cont-
acts the frame, it is insufficiently tigh-
tened, and must be re-tightened. To
do this, release the lever, tighten the
nut on the other side slightly and re-
clamp the lever. After this, the wheel
must be centred; i.e. the distance
between the rim and the frame must
be the same on both sides.
In assembled condition, at least 10
- 12 mm must remain thread-free in
the clamp piece (this is where the
wing bolt is later screwed in). Simply
check this by screwing in the wing
bolts tightly. If the thread is still visible
after achieving the tightening torque,
the threaded rod must be shortened
accordingly. If you are not sure, plea-
se contact your specialist dealer (see
Point 13.3
).
If the quick-release lever (A) does not fit
correctly, the wheel may loosen. There-
fore, regularly check the quick-release
clamp for tight fit, best of all prior to
each journey!
