The hubs of your wheels and possibly also the clamp of your saddle post are fitted with quick-
release axles (often also referred to as “quick-release levers”).
These quick-release axles permit quick removal and installation of these components without the
use of tools. This is effected by means of a
– Long axle with thread, on the one end fitted with a
– screw nut, at the other end an
– eccentrically pivoted lever.
– There is a small spring between the screw nut and the hub, and between the lever and the
hub.
– The ends of the springs with the smaller diameter face towards the hub in each case.
– On quick-release levers for saddle post clamping, the axle end may have a bolt head with
hexagonal socket instead of the nut.
Opening the quick-release axle:
1. Press the eccentrically pivoted lever away from the hub. It can now be turned by
approx. 180° about its own axis.
