INSTALLING WHEELS WITH THROUGH AXLES
*In some cases, if you have mail ordered, your chosen authorised Nukeproof Dealer may have shipped the bike without
wheels installed. Please reference the following to install wheels with Through Axles to your bike.
Nukeproof bikes typically will use Through Axles.
Insert the wheels to the fork and frame dropouts, ensure the rotor is aligned with the caliper to avoid damage when
installing. For the rear wheel please ensure the gears are in the smallest sprocket and pull the derailleur rearwards to give
more room for install. Ensure the hub endcaps are seated correctly in the dropouts for a secure fit.
Apply a little grease to the axle and threads and push through the dropouts and hubs until axle cannot be pushed further.
Tighten the Through Axle clockwise to the Nm found on the axle, if no Nm is displayed, please consult with your Nukeproof
Dealer.
If the Through Axle is stiff when installing, it may be cross-threading, stop immediately and check seating of hubs and
dropouts. Any further concerns please consult with your Nukeproof Dealer.
If the forks have pinch bolt dropouts, reference the forks manufacturer guides for correct installation.
If the Through Axles have Quick Release levers, please reference the axles manufacturers instructions for correct install.
Ensure the correct tools are used when fitting and removing Through Axles, if you are unsure, please consult with your
Nukeproof Dealers.
Ensure the Through Axles are checked before and after each ride to ensure they are tight.
Riding with loose Through Axles can result in loss of control, injury and death.
If you are unsure on fitting wheels with Through Axles, please consult with your Nukeproof Dealer.
