2.3.3 Axles
The axles connect the wheels and frame (photo 22).
Fixed (12" transit only) and quick-release axles are available
- Fixed axles: regularly check the axle tightening.
- Quick-release axles (photo 23) : depress the button (A) and
insert the axle in the wheel hub.
Position the assembly in the bearing (B) of the multiple adjus-
table wheel mounting until it locks in place. The locking balls
(C) must rise above the bearing. No signicant side clearance
is allowed.
To reduce clearance as much as possible, 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.
(wipe out every month with a rag soaked with ne oil).
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.
