DT RWS
This type of thru-axle has a handle, not
a lever; it is not a quick-release. The axle
works like a screw, and the handle works
like a wrench to tighten the screw.
To secure a wheel: Instead of ipping
the lever to close, you simply rotate
the handle until fully tight (Figure 4), a
minimum of 15 Nm.
Aer the wheel is secure, you can pull
the handle out on the axle (Figure 5) and
rotate the handle to reposition it in your
preferred position.
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENT TYPES
This bicycle can be modied to use a
dierent type of wheel attachment. See
your dealer for more information.
