If your bike has disc brakes
Remove the disc brake shipping spacer from the
caliper. This is a brightly colored plastic spacer
used with hydraulic disc brakes. After the
spacer is removed, before the wheel is installed,

accidentally pull the front brake lever the brake
pads will need to be pushed outwards to allow
the wheel to be installed.

Before installing the front wheel, if the front
brake is V Brake (aka Linear pull) or Caliper it
may need to be released to allow the tire to fit
between the brake pads. See section 8.
If your bike has V brake type rim brakes:
Temporarily disconnect the curved brake cable
guide from the bracket that holds it. Note how
the smaller diameter lower end of this curved
cable guide fits into the bracket. After you
disconnect, the brake arms and pads will spring
outward, creating more space for the wheel.
