Front Wheel

Check the wheel hub before attaching it to the fork by rotating the

threaded axle. It should be smooth with no lateral movement. Insert

the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Tighten the wheel nuts using

the appropriate 14mm or 15mm wrench. Spin the wheel checking for

trueness. Some bicycles have wheel axles that incorporate a Quick

Release (QR) mechanism. This allows easy wheel removal without the

need for tools. The mechanism uses a long bolt with an adjusting nut

on one end, and a lever operating a cam-action tensioner on the other.

If the wheel is fitted with a Quick Release type axle, turn the adjusting

nut so that the locking lever is moved to the closed position with a firm

action. At the halfway closed position of the quick release lever, you

should start to feel some resistance to this motion. Do not tighten the

quick release by using the quick release lever like a wing nut. If the

quick release lever is moved to the closed position with no resistance,

clamping strength is insufficient. Move the quick release lever to the

open position, tighten the quick release adjusting nut, and return the

quick release lever to the closed position.

Correct Quick Release Axle Setting (if equipped)

To set, turn the lever to the open position so that the curved 1.

part faces away from the bicycle.

While holding the lever in one hand, tighten the adjusting nut until 2.

it stops.

Pivot the lever towards the closed position. When the lever is 3.

halfway closed, there must be firm resistance to turn it beyond

that point. If resistance is not firm, open the lever and tighten the

adjusting nut in a clockwise direction.

Continue to pivot the lever all the way to the closed position 4.

so that the curved part of the lever faces the bicycle.

The quick release must be very tight in its closed position and

unable to vibrate loose while riding.
