6.1.3.b. Installing a Quick Release Front Wheel
(1) Rotate the quick-release lever so that it curves away from the
wheel (Fig. 11 & 13). This is the OPEN position.
(2) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between
the fork blades so that the axle sits firmly at the top of the slots that
are at the tips of the fork blades - the fork dropouts. The quick
release lever should be on the left side of the bicycle (Fig. 12 & 13).
If your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention device, engage it.
(3) Holding the quick-release lever in the OPEN position with your
right hand, tighten the tension adjusting nut with your left hand until it
is finger tight against the fork dropout (Fig. 11).
(4) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork
dropouts, and at the same time centering the wheel rim in the fork,
rotate the quick-release lever upwards and push it into the CLOSED
position (Fig. 11 & 12). The lever should be parallel to the fork blade
and curved towards the wheel.
CAUTION: If you can fully close the quick release without wrapping
your fingers around the fork blade for leverage, and the lever does
not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is
insufficient. Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a
quarter turn; then try again.
(5) If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to
the fork blade, return the lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the
tension adjusting nut counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try
tightening the lever again.
(6) Close the brake shoes; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is
centered in the frame and clears the brake shoes.
WARNING: Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for
correct quick release adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the quick
release mechanism can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage,
which could cause you to lose control and fall, resulting in serious
injury or death.
6.1.3.c. Removing a Quick Release Rear Wheel
(1) Open up the brake shoes (see Section 6.3.1, Figs. 16a, b, c and
d).
(2) Shift the rear derailleur to a high gear (the smallest, outermost
rear sprocket) and pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
(3) Rotate the quick-release lever to the OPEN position (Fig. 11 &
13).
(4) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and, with the
derailleur still pulled back, push the wheel forward and down until it
comes out of the rear dropouts.
6.1.3.d. Installing a Quick Release Rear Wheel
(1) Shift the rear derailleur to its outermost position.
(2) Pull the derailleur body back with
your right hand.
(3) Rotate the quick-release lever to
the OPEN position. The lever should
be on the side of the wheel opposite
the derailleur and freewheel
sprockets.
