more details about this under Point IV
Close the adjustment lever on the calliper brakes once the
wheel has been tted, so that it points downwards (Fig. 7)
Important: Make sure, when tting the front wheel, that the
fork dropouts are sitting completely on the axle!
Attention: Check that the front wheel is rotating freely. The
wheel has not been tted properly if the wheel is not running
straight or if the brake is clearly rubbing!
