Wheels

securing method for your bicycle with your 
dealer.

It is very important that you understand 
the type of wheel securing method on 

your bicycle, that you know how to 
secure the wheels correctly, and that you 

know how to apply the correct clamping 
force that safely secures the wheel. Ask 

your dealer to instruct you in correct 
wheel removal and installation, and ask 
him to give you any available manufac-

turer’s instructions.

 

Riding with an improperly secured wheel 

can allow the wheel to wobble or fall off 

the bicycle, which can cause serious 
injury or death. Therefore, it is essen-
tial that you:

1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure 

you know how to install and remove 
your wheels safely.

2. Understand and apply the correct 

technique for clamping your wheel in 
place. 

3. Each time, before you ride the bike, 
check that the wheel is securely clamped.

The clamping action of a correctly 

secured wheel must emboss the sur-
faces of the dropouts.

Front Wheel Secondary 
Retention Devices

Most bicycles have front forks which uti-

lize a secondary wheel retention device 

to reduce the risk of the wheel disengag-
ing from the fork if the wheel is incorrectly 
secured. Secondary retention devices are 

not a substitute for correctly securing your 
front wheel.

Secondary retention devices fall into two 

basic categories:

1.

 The clip-on type is a part which the 

manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub 
or front fork.

2.

 The integral type is molded, cast or 

machined into the outer faces of the front 
fork dropouts.

 Ask your dealer to explain the particular 

secondary retention device on your bike.

Do not remove or disable the secondary 
retention device. As its name implies, it 
serves as a back-up for a critical adjust-
ment. If the wheel is not secured cor-
rectly, the secondary retention device 

can reduce the risk of the wheel disen-
gaging from the fork. Removing or dis-

abling the secondary retention device 
may also void the warranty.

Secondary retention devices are not a 
substitute for correctly securing your 
wheel. Failure to properly secure the 
wheel can cause the wheel to wobble 
or disengage, which could cause you to 

lose control and fall, resulting in serious 
injury or death.

 Wheels with cam action 

systems

There are currently two types of over-cen-

ter cam wheel-retention mechanisms: the 
traditional over-center cam (fi g.  4-1 ) and 
the cam-and-cup system (fi g.  4-2 ). Both 
use an over-center cam action to clamp 
the bike’s wheel in place. Your bicycle may
