NOTE
If you are not sure of any of these steps or how the quick
release mechanism operates ask your bicycle retailer.
REMOVING THE REAR WHEEL
• Set the rear gear lever so that the chain can
be moved to the smallest cog.
• Release the Brake Quick Release (see
Removing the Front Wheel)
• If tted with axle nuts, use the correct
spanner to loosen the axle nuts enough to
allow the wheel to be removed.
• If tted with a Quick Release Lever, move
the lever into the OPEN position. This allows
the wheel to be removed.
• Lift the bike off the ground 30-50mm, push
the wheel forward and down until it comes
out of the dropouts.
