PART 3
(B) Tool driven Quick Release
8. Install Front Wheel
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
(B) Tool driven Quick Release
5mm hex security Quick Release
This is a design that uses standard Quick Release assembly parts but is clamped by a special nut
that is tightened by a 5mm allen wrench. This system was developed for urban bikes to reduce
the risk of theft of the front wheel. By requiring a tool to remove the front wheel, it is slower for
the thief and he may pick another target.
First properly install the 5mm quick release assembly into the hub. Pick up the 5mm quick
release assembly and note the sequence and orientation of parts: adjusting nut, conical spring,
skewer, a second conical spring and finally the special nut that is turned by a 5mm allen wrench.
Remove the adjusting nut and the first conical spring.
Pick up the front wheel. Examine the sidewall of the tire to see if the tread design is directio-
nal. If it is directional, you will see a forward rotation arrow.
Insert the skewer though the hollow axle in the center of the hub. On a bike with disc brakes
position the 5mm nut on the side opposite the brake disc.
Reinstall the conical spring over the threaded end of the skewer, small end first.
Reinstall the adjusting nut, threading it onto the threaded end of the skewer. Turn the
adjusting nut only a few turns at this stage. Tightening the 5mm nut will be done after the
wheel is installed in the fork.
If your bike has Rim brakes- Before installing the front wheel, if the front brake is V Brake (aka
Linear pull) or Caliper it may need to be released to allow the tire to fit between the brake
pads. See Section 8.
