• All quick-release levers should be inspected before every ride
to be sure they are fully closed and secure. Failure to
properly close a quick-release lever can cause loss of control
of the bicycle resulng in injury or death.
• Make sure the wheel is properly seated and the quick-release
lever is properly closed.
WARNING!
❶ Some re tread paerns have a direcon, so compare your
front re and rear re of the bicycle so that both tread
paerns face the same way.
❷ Locate the skewer from the small parts carton of your
bicycle. Figure 3.13
❸ Unscrew the adjustment nut from the skewer, remove outer
spring and slide the skewer through the front wheel axle so
the quick-release lever is on the side of the bike opposite the
chain.
❹ Slide the outer spring over the end of the skewer. Note: The
smaller end should be in towards the wheel.
❺ Begin to thread the adjustment nut back onto the skewer,
but do not ghten too far. Allow enough play so you can
place the axle into the fork drop out.
❻ Slide the wheel into the fork dropout slots. Note: If you
have a wheel with disc brakes insert the disc rotor into the
center of the disc brake at the same me you are inserng
the wheel axle into the fork drop out.
Important! Be sure the wheel is as centered as possible
between the fork legs.
