2.3.3 Axles
The axles connect the wheels and frame. Fixed and quick-re-
lease axles are available
- Fixed axles: regularly check the axle tightening.
- Quick-release axles (photo 20) : depress the button (A) and
insert the axle in the wheel hub. Position the assembly in the
bearing (B) of the multiple adjustable wheel mounting until
it locks in place. The locking balls (C) must rise above the
bearing. No signicant side clearance is allowed.
To reduce clearance as much as possible (photo 21), remove
the axle and adjust the nut using a 19 mm key ; then block the
axle with an 11mm open-end key.
Make sure that the axle and the locking balls are clean.
To prevent falls, it is essential that the button (A) and the
locking balls (C) are disengaged providing a perfect lock of the
rear wheels.
The quick release axle is a precision part, take care of shocks and
clean regularly to ensure the good working of the mechanism.
