Installing a quick release front wheel
In a quick release system, the wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam pushing
against one dropout and pulling the tension adjusting nut, by way of the skewer, against the other dropout.
The amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut
clockwisewhilekeepingthecamleverfromrotatingincreasesclampingforce;turningitcounterclockwise
while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of the tension
adjusting nut can make the difference between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force.
1. Remove the tension adjusting nut and one of the small springs, then slide the quick release skewer through
the hub. If your bicycle has a disc brake, insert the skewer starting on the side with the brake rotor. Replace
thespringandtensionadjustingnut(figa).
2. If your bicycle has rim brakes, disengage them to increase the clearance between the tire and brake pads.
3. Installthewheelintothedropouts,makingsurethequickreleaseleverisontheleftsideofthebicycle.
4. HoldingthequickreleaseleverintheOPENpositionwithonehand,tightenthetensionadjustingnutwith
yourotherhanduntilitisfingertightagainsttheforkdropout.
5. Whilepushingthewheelfirmlytothetopoftheslotsintheforkdropouts,andatthesametimecenteringthe
wheelriminthefork,movethequick-releaseleverupwardsandswingitintotheCLOSEDposition(figb&c)
The lever should now be parallel to the fork blade and curved toward the wheel. To apply enough clamping
force,youshouldhavetowrapyourfingersaroundtheforkbladeforleverage,andthelevershouldleavea
clear imprint in the palm of your hand.
