brake disk collide
wrong
Frontwheel:Thequick-releaseskewermustbe
positionedontheoppositesidetothebrakedisc
(wheretted).If the quick-release skewer is on
the same side as the brake disc, there is a risk
that they can clash and lock the front wheel (see
diagram), which can cause a serious accident.
Allquick-releasesystemsmustbecorrectlytightenedbeforeyouseto.
Otherwise the components can loosen – if that happens while riding you
could fall o, resulting in serious injuries.

180˚. You will now usually be able to
see the word ‘OPEN’ on the inside of
