FRONT WHEEL
There are two types of front wheel hubs; Nued and quick release.
Nued Front Wheels
Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel. If there is a washer inside of the axle nut, it
belongs outside of the fork dropouts. If the washer has a hook or a step, be sure that
it engages the fork before ghtening the axle nuts. Slide the front wheel between the
fork dropouts. If the wheel has a hook shaped washer, be sure that the hook is hooked
into the hole above the wheel slot. If there is a step washer, be sure the step ts into
the key hole at the top of the wheel slot. Tighten the two outer axle nuts evenly; Tighten
one side part way, then ghten the other side and repeat unl both sides are ghtened
securely. Be sure that the wheel is centered between the fork legs. If it is o center, loosen
the axle nut on the side that has a smaller gap between re and fork leg, and use your
hand to push the wheel to a centered posion; hold the wheel with one hand, and
ghten the axle nut and check again. Repeat if needed to be sure the wheel is
centered and securely ghtened. (Fig. 3.9)
