If you disengaged your brake to get the wheel in, it is very important that you now re-engage it. Visit the brakes secon of
this manual for instrucons on how to do this.
WARNING
Removing or adjusng a rear wheel with a nued system
This step is easier with the bike upside down, resng on the saddle and the handlebars. For that purpose, the images here show what
these steps look like with the bike upside down.
Should your bike have gears, shi the rear derailleur to high gear (the smallest, outermost rear sprocket).
You then may need to release the brakes to get enough clearance for the wheel to pass through. Should this be the case, see
the brakes secon in this manual for instrucons on how to do this.

Loosen the nuts on the wheel, then push the wheel forward far enough to be able to remove the chain from the rear sprocket.
Should your bike have gears, pull the derailleur body back with your right hand to release the tension on the chain and hold
it there for the next step.
You can now remove the wheel out of the dropouts.
