PART I
SECTION 4. TECH
It’s important to your safety, performance and
enjoyment to understand how things work on your
bicycle.
We urge you to ask your dealer how to do the things
described in this section before you attempt them
yourself, and that you have your dealer check your
work before you ride the bike.
If you have even the slightest doubt as to whether
you understand something in this section of the
Manual, talk to your dealer.

4.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.
If you do not have a bicycle with a through-axle
mounting system, it will have wheel secured in one
of the following 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.8a & 8b).
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)
WARNING
RIDING WITH AN IMPROPERLY SECURED
WHEEL CAN ALLOW THE WHEEL TO WOBBLE
OR FALL OFF THE BICYCLE, OR SUDDENLY
STOP THE WHEEL, 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.
Some bicycles are equipped with a quick release lever
and a disc brake. If the bicycle is ridden with the lever
incorrectly adjusted or open, and the lever contacts the
disc or wheel (next gure), the front wheel could stop
suddenly, causing the rider to fall. Always make sure
your wheels are correctly attached, and the attachment
mechanisms closed and locked, before riding the bicycle.
