WARNING
The quick-release knob must be tightened on
the quick-release skewer completely with at
least two screw threads showing past the end
of the quick-release knob to ensure the rear
wheel of the bicycle does not loosen off.
Always make sure that the quick-release is
correctly attached. An incorrectly tensioned
quick-release may lead to accidental loosening
of the rear wheel.
