4. Close Quick Release Lever
To properly close the quick release
and secure the front wheel in
the dropouts, confirm the axle is
contacting the top of the dropouts
on both sides and the wheel is
centered left to right.
FULLY OPEN
FULLY CLOSED
While maintaining the wheel in this
position, rotate the quick release
upward and into the FULLY CLOSED
position. When properly closed,
the curve of the quick release will
be pointing toward the wheel
and parallel to the fork blade. To
generate enough clamping force
it is necessary to wrap your fingers
around the fork blade while closing
the quick release lever. The proper
force required to close the quick
release lever should leave a visible
imprint in the palm of your hand.
It takes
considerable force to securely
clamp the wheel. If you are able to
completely close the quick release
without wrapping your fingers
around the fork blade and the
quick release lever does not leave
a visible imprint in the palm of your
hand, the tension is not adequate.
Fork Blade
Rotate the lever to the FULLY
OPEN position and turn the
tension adjusting nut a quarter
turn clockwise and repeat the
closing process.
If the quick release lever cannot
be rotated to the FULLY CLOSED
position, rotate the lever to the
FULLY OPEN position and turn the
tension adjusting nut a quarter
turn counterclockwise. Repeat the
closing process.
REMOVING FRONT WHEEL
1. Open Quick Release Lever
Move the wheel’s quick release lever
from the locked or FULLY CLOSED
position to the FULLY OPEN position.
Your front fork has integral secondary
retention devices that require loosen-
ing the tension adjusting nut enough
to allow removal of the wheel.
2. Remove Front Wheel
Raise the front wheel a few inches off
the ground and tap the top of the
wheel with the palm of your hand to
knock the wheel out of the front fork.
