Operation Manual

NOTE:

Make sure that you do not lose the springs.

8.6.1.2 Closing the quick-release axle

1. If the quick-release axle has been completely removed from the hub, push it through the hub from the

left-hand side (as seen in the riding direction) with the spring attached.

2. Place the second spring and screw nut on to the quick-release axle.

3. Turn the nut in a clockwise direction on to the right-hand end of the quick-release axle, which is pro-

truding out of the hub.

4. Tilt the eccentrically pivoted lever so that it forms roughly the extension of the hub axle. Hold the lever

in this position.

5. Now turn the screw nut until the eccentrically pivoted lever when turned through 90° about its pivot can

only move against a resistance (it then forms more or less the straight extension of the hub axle).

6. Now press the lever by a further 90° up to its end position.

7. Testing the adjustment of the quick-release lever:

• If the quick-release lever does not close tightly enough:

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

If the lever cannot move in its final position (90° to the hub axle) because the pre-tension is too

great, it is possible that the lever will become loose of its own accord while you are riding the bike,

so that the front wheel also becomes loose. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls and

accidents.

– Open the quick-release lever.

– Tighten the nut slightly in a clockwise direction.

– Close the quick-release lever.

• If the quick-release lever closes too tightly:

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

If the lever cannot move in its final position (90° to the hub axle) because the pre-tension is too

great, it is possible that the lever will become loose of its own accord while you are riding the bike,

so that the front wheel also becomes loose. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls and

accidents.
