OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.8.1 Operate the thru axle
8.8.2 General information
Thru axles are used on both the frame and the fork of
CUBE models. All CUBE models use the advanced and
reliable 12mm thru axle system on the frame (MTB +
ROAD + TOUR + URBAN) and the fork (ROAD + TOUR
+ URBAN). Manufacturer-specic 15mm or 20mm
quick-release thru axles are used on the suspension
forks of our MTB models. Further information about
15mm and 20mm thru axle systems can be found in
the manual for the forks, or on the respective manu
-
facturer website.

8.8.3 Before installation
Please check the clamping surface and the
thread of the thru axle, frame and/or fork for
any soiling before installing the thru axle.
Dirt and soiling may impair the safety of the
axle system. Lightly greasing the axle thread
is recommended.
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Important information about the hand-
ling and use of thru axles
Always use the tools recommended by
the manufacturer when installing the
axle. Always use a torque wrench.
Never exceed the maximum torque, as
specied by the manufacturer!
Always read the operating manual of the
suspension forks and the wheel manufac-
turer before replacing or operating a fork/
wheel combination with a thru axle system.
Risk of material damage!
Check the correct t of the thru axle before
every use.
Incorrectly installed wheels and thru axles
may cause severe falls and accidents! Please
consult your CUBE dealer on how to safely
handle the installed thru axle type.

a quick-release thru axle
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
