There are three types of front wheel assemblies; nued with

step retaining washer, nued with clip retaining washer and

quick-release. Note: Some re tread paerns have a direcon,

so compare your front re and rear re of the bicycle so that

both tread paerns face the same way.

must be facing out and the protrusion on the washer must
