Make sure you don`t touch the disc while taking
the wheel out and in again.
The following applies for rear wheels:
• If your bicycle uses a derailleur gear system,
change gear to the smallest sprocket. In this
position, the rear derailleur poses the least hin-
drance in removing the wheel.
• If your bicycle has quick-release levers or ax-
les, open them (see page 7).
• If your bicycle has hex nuts, loosen these with
a suitable spanner anti-clockwise.
• Pull the rear derailleur backwards somewhat.
• Lift the bicycle slightly.
• Lightly strike the wheel from above with the
palm of the hand.
• Take the wheel out of the frame.
If your bicycle has a gear hub, please consult the
instructions supplied by your manufacturer for re-
moving the wheel.
