Cervélo Owner’s Manual
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 with a quick release.
3. Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the
wheel is securely clamped.
The wheel quick release uses a cam action to clamp the bike’s wheel
in place (see fig. 5). Because of its adjustable nature, it is critical that
you understand how it works, how to use it properly, and how much
force you need to apply to secure the wheel.
WARNING: The full force of the cam action is needed
to clamp the wheel securely. Holding the nut with one hand
and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other hand
until everything is as tight as you can get it will not clamp
the wheel safely in the dropouts.
a. Adjusting the Quick Release Mechanism
The wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release
cam pushing against one dropout and pulling the tension adjusting
nut, by way of the skewer, against the other dropout. The amount
of clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning
the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever
from rotating increases clamping force; turning it counterclockwise
while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force.
Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the
difference between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force.
b. Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices
Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention
device to reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork if the
quick release is incorrectly adjusted. Secondary retention devices are not
a substitute for correct quick release adjustment.
Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:
(1) The clip-on type is a part which the manufacturer adds to the
front wheel hub or front fork.
(2) The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the outer
faces of the front fork dropouts.
Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention
device on your bike.
WARNING: Do not remove or disable the secondary retention
