Again turn the Allen key in a clockwise direction
and again check the lever tension. Repeat the
process until the lever tension is sufcient.
Do not use any other tools to fasten the axle
to the lower part of the fork. The axle and/or the
lower part of the fork may be damaged when the
axle is excessively tightened.
Through axles of other manufacturers can be
tightened differently. One possible way is to loos-
en the locknut in the dropout and to x it after
having turned it clockwise.
The quick-release fastener may not
be readjusted or turned after closing.
Turning the quick-release fastener
may loosen the axle and have a detrimental
effect on driving safety. This may lead to se-
vere or lethal injuries.

Removal
1. Open the quick-release lever and place it into
the slot in the axle ange.
2. Turn the quick-release lever in an anti-clock-
wise direction until the axle exits from the
thread of the dropout and then pull the axle
out of the hub.
The basic function is the same when your bicycle
is equipped with a Fox fork. The quick-release
axle is then inserted into the fork from the left
side.

Check that all quick-release fasten-
ers and quick-release axles are rm-
ly attached, even when your bicycle
only remained unsupervised for a short time.
You may only start driving when all quick-re-
lease fasteners are rmly closed.
Installing pedals
If your bicycle was supplied without the pedals
pre-installed, these have to be attached with the
correct wrench. Please note that the pedals have
to be screwed in in different directions and se-
cured with a high mounting torque (see page 34).
Apply assembly grease to both threads.

Please read the enclosed instruc-
tions from the respective manufac-
turer if you use pedals feature hook
or strap systems. Practice taking your feet in
and out of the hooks and operating the strap
releases in a safe place. Tightened straps do
NOT release the feet!
Possible consequences are falling and in-
juries.
