4 Basic adjustments

This chapter contains information about basic adjustments to the cycle, and information

about how to put the cycle into use.

4.1 Quick releases

NOTE

Material breakage due to handling components incorrectly.

Risk of damage!

x Only pull a quick release lever by hand. Never use tools or

other implements to pull the lever.

A quick release is a clamping device that

allows cycle components to be fitted,

removed or adjusted quickly and without

tools. An eccentric mechanism creates

tension when the quick-release lever is pulled.

Quick releases consist of two elements: the

quick-release lever and the quick-release

adjusting nut.

If no tension is created when the

quick-release lever is operated, the quick

release must be readjusted.

x Screw the quick-release adjusting nut

clockwise onto the axle until you notice

that tension is created when you pull

the quick-release lever.
