OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.8.6 Assembling / disassembling a quick-
release thru axle on the rear wheel
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Always observe the operating manual of
the thru axle manufacturer.
Risk of material damage!
Check the correct t of the thru axle
before every use.
1. Insert the wheel into the frame at the
same time as attaching the chain and
inserting the brake disc into the brake
calliper. Make sure the thru axle is
inserted straight, to prevent damage to
the thread. To prevent damage to the
thread and other components, the thru
axle must not be tilted or sti to turn
while inserted/screwed in.
2. Tighten the axle to achieve a secure t
by using the lever and applying manual
force. Do not exceed a tightening torque
of 16Nm.
3. If the lever is in a dicult position to
apply manual force onto, loosen the lever
fastening mechanism on the axle using
two ngers. This can be loosened by turn-
ing it 180° anticlockwise with two ngers.
The lever can now be pulled slightly
away from the axle and turned into any
position you choose. To retighten the
axle, reposition the lever on the axle in
a comfortable position and tighten the
torque again.
4. Once you have tightened the axle
enough, position the lever so that it
points towards the front-end of the bike
and slide the lever onto the axle. Now
turn the xing screw 180° clockwise to
secure the lever against working itself
loose.
5. To release the axle, turn the lever
anticlockwise. If you cannot apply
enough force to the lever in the current
position, follow steps 1 to 4 in reverse.
Then you can adjust the position of the
lever to make it easier to loosen.
A folding cam lever is often used on
suspension forks to clamp the axle. After
screwing in the axle, this lever must be
folded and secured hand-tight. Failure
to do so may result in the lever working
itself loose, at the risk of causing an
accident!
