If your bicycle has one or several full 
oating  axles,  please  read  the  cor-
responding instructions provided by 
the component manufacturer on how to oper-
ate and service these parts.
Using quick releases and through axles
Quick  releases  and  through  axles  are  systems 
installed on the bicycle in place of bolted con-
nections. They consist of two parts: The clamp-
ing lever, which provides the necessary clamping 
force, and the locking nut, which allows you to 
regulate the clamping force. You can change the 
setup of your quick release when the clamping 
lever is open.
For detailed information, please 
read the instructions supplied by the 
manufacturer. The functionality and 
secure t of the suspension parts are vital for 
your safety! 
Adjusting the bicycle to the rider 
The seat post, seat, stem and handlebars can 
only be tightened and secured with quick releas-
es or bolted connections.
