In its nal position, the lever must be at right angles to the quick-release/
through axle axis, i.e. it must not protrude from the sides. The lever must be
attached to the frame or fork so that it does not open unintentionally. At the
same time, it must be easy to grasp with your ngers so that it can be operated
quickly.
Check that the quick release/through axle is secure by pressing against the
end of the closed lever while trying to rotate it. If it moves, it must be reopened
and the preload increased. To do this, turn the clamping nut on the opposite
side by half a turn clockwise. Close the quick release/through axle and recheck
that it is securely locked.
Finally, lift the wheel a few centimetres off the ground and tap the tyre from
above. If the wheel is securely fastened, it should remain on the dropouts of the
frame or fork and not make any noise.
To check the saddle quick release seat, try rotating the saddle relative to the
frame.
Make sure that the quick-release levers of both wheels are always on the
opposite side to the chain. This will avoid mounting the front wheel with the
sides reversed. For Megamo bikes with disc brakes and quick releases with
5 mm axle it may be useful to mount both levers on the chain side. This will
prevent you from touching the hot brake disc and burning your ngers. If you
are unsure or in doubt, please consult your Megamo dealer.
Never ride your Megamo bike without rst checking the wheel fastening before
setting off. If the quick-release fasteners are not properly locked, there is a risk
that the wheels could come loose which could lead to an accident!
