Pre-ride checklist
The thru axle length, diameter, and thread
pitch must match the specications of
your frame, fork, and wheel hubs. Always
install or remove your wheel in accordance
with the thru axle manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and consult the manufacturer if you
have questions.
If you intend to replace the thru axle, make
sure the new thru axle is compatible with
your bicycle. Do not remove the thru axle
from your bicycle and use it on a different
bicycle, as it may not be compatible and
will not properly secure your wheel.
The thru axle is inserted through the
unthreaded hole in the frame or fork’s
dropout, through the wheel hub, and
is threaded directly into the opposing
dropout by tightening the thru axle. Please
refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for specic information about your thru
axle’s operation, including correct torque
specications.
□ Check the tires
Use a tire pump with a gauge to make
sure your tires are inated within the rec-
ommended pressure range. Do not exceed
the pressure limit as stated on the side of
the tire or rim; whichever is lowest.
NOTE: It is better to use a hand or foot
pump than a service station pump or elec-
tric compressor. The latter are more likely
to allow for over-ination, which can cause
the tire to blow out.
WARNING: Never inate a tire beyond
the maximum pressure marked on the
tire’s sidewall.
WARNING: Never ride a tire inated
below the minimum pressure marked on
the tire’s sidewall. Tire pressure below the
minimum may cause a at tire and/or the
tire to detach from the rim while riding, re-
sulting in a loss of control or crash causing
serious injury or death, as well as damage
to the tire, tube, and/or wheel rim.
