Operation Manual

13.1.2 Installing the front wheel

1. If your bike has a disc brake, remove the transport lock from the brake pistons.

2. Pick up the bike with the handlebars.

3. Position the hub of the front wheel under the fork ends of the front-wheel fork.

4. With disc brake: Insert the wheel so that the brake disc slides smoothly between the brake pads.

5. Lower the fork carefully until the axle is ﬂ ush with the stop of the fork ends on the left and right.

6. Close your quick-release or thru axle according to section 8.6.1.2, Closing the quick-release axle or

8.6.2.2, Closing the thru axle.

7. If your front wheel has a hub dynamo, connect the plug-in contact between the hub dynamo and cables.

8. Press the front wheel brake several times with the bike standing still.

9. Lift up the bike by the handlebars and turn the front wheel by hand. If a brake pad is in contact with the

brake disc or a brake block with the wheel rim, this can indicate incorrect mounting of the hub in the

fork dropouts. In this case, apply the brakes to the front wheel, open the quick-release or thru axle and

shake the front wheel back and forth lightly (sideways to the direction of travel). Repeat the installation

from point 6. If there is no improvement, please contact your specialist bicycle dealer immediately.

10. If your bike has a hub dynamo, check that the lights are working correctly.
