Installing the Front Wheel
I. Basic mechanical principle with the quick release lever
Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to increase clamping, and anti-clockwise to
decrease.
For the quick release lever to be in the CLOSE position, turn the adjusting nut clock-
wise. As the nut screws inwards, the wheel is clamped onto the frame and locked
into the correct position.
II. How to install
1. Open the quick release lever, and insert the front wheel all the way into the drop-
outs of the front fork.
2. With your left hand, turn the adjusting nut clockwise to fasten up, and with your
right hand, close the quick lease lever. Continue to turn the adjusting nut till the
lever runs parallel to the hub (as indicated below) and resistance from the lever is
felt.
3. Hold the legs of the front fork with your fingers, and use your palm to press on the
quick release lever to lock into place. The CLOSE mark should face outwards, and
the lever should be ahead of the legs or parallel to them (as indicated below).
