Operation Manual

Cycle Wheels and tyres
85
The cycle may be equipped with
conventional thru-axles, lever-type thru-axles
or quick-release axles. The axles can be
replaced with anti-theft axles.
Axles pass through the wheels and are
fastened between the fork ends of the
cycle. The fork ends may be open or closed
depending on the front fork model. These
have different fitting and removal methods.
Thru-axles and quick-release axles can be fitted with anti-theft devices or
replaced with axles that feature integrated anti-theft protection.
Wheels may be secured in various ways depending on the model:
– Some models cannot be unfastened while the cycle is in an upright position.
– With some models, a dedicated tool is required to loosen the hub axle nut or
quick-release adjusting nut.
x Ask your dealer about anti-theft thru-axle and quick-release axle options.
x Refer to the information enclosed by the manufacturer about fitting the axles.
x If you lack the necessary expertise and the tools required to adjust quick-release
axles, contact your dealer.
