Clamping a wheel
There are two different methods for wheel clamping.
Clamping method 1 - clamping cone on the rear of the rim
Most steel wheels can be mounted correctly using this method. The wheel is centered on a cone on the inside of
the hub.
•
Clean the surface of the rim before using this method.
•
Select the most suitable cone for the rim hub hole.
•
Slide the cone with the large ends in the direction of the flange on the shaft so that it rests against the flange.
•
Take a suitable plastic cap (optional) and place it on the quick-release nut.
•
Lift the wheel onto the axle and center the hub hole of the rim with the cone on top.
•
Attach the wheel to the axle using the quick-release nut. Make sure that it is correctly centered.
Clamping method 2 - clamping cone on the front of the rim
A wheel should only be centered like this when the inner surface of the cone does not allow the cone to be
correctly positioned. The wheel is centered on a cone from the outside of the hub.
•
Select the most suitable cone for the rim hub hole.
•
Lift the wheel in the direction of the flange so that it rests against the flange on the axle.
•
Slide the cone with the large ends outwards on the shaft.
•
Centre the hub hole of the rim by sliding on the cone.
•
Attach the wheel to the axle using the quick-release nut (without plastic cap).
