Your bicycle may be equipped with a different securing method for the front wheel
than for the rear wheel. Discuss the wheel securing method for your bicycle with your
dealer.
It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on your
bicycle, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly, and that you know how to
apply the correct clamping force that safely secures the wheel. Ask your dealer to
instruct you in correct wheel removal and installation, and ask him to give you any
available manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: Riding with an improperly secured wheel can allow the wheel to
wobble or fall off the bicycle, which can cause serious injury or death.
Therefore, it is essential that you:
1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your
wheels safely.
2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place.
3. Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped.
The clamping action of a correctly secured wheel must emboss the surfaces of the
dropouts.
1. Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices
Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention device to
A. Wheels
Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier transportation and for
repair of a tire puncture. In most cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called
“dropouts” in the fork and frame, but some suspension mountain bikes use what is
called a “through axle” wheel mounting system.
If you have a mountain bike equipped with through axle front or rear wheels, make
sure that your dealer has given you the manufacturer’s instructions, and follow those
when installing or removing a through axle wheel. If you don’t know what a through
axle is, ask your dealer.
Wheels are secured in one of three ways:
• A hollow axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it which has an adjustable
tension nut on one end and an over-center cam on the other (cam action system, fig.8 a & b)
• A hollow axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it which has a nut on one end
and a fitting for a hex key, lock lever or other tightening device on the other (through bolt,
fig. 9)
• Hex nuts or hex key bolts which are threaded on to or into the hub axle (bolt-on
wheel, fig. 10)
