7.3.3. Wheel Fastening with Thru Axles
There is a wide range of thru-axle-systems available now. Some systems
are tightened with quick-releases. Other systems may require special
tools for assembly or disassembly.
7.3.3.1. RockShox Maxle thru-axle-system
If your bike is equipped with a Maxle thru-axle-system, put the wheel
into the fork and mount the rotor in the brake calliper. Bring the wheel
into the right position between the drop-outs and slide the axle with
open Maxle quick-release levers from the right side through the drop-
out and the hub.
Make sure the quick-release lever is completely open and lies in the axle
recess. As soon as the axle thread engages with the thread of the left
fork leg, close the axle by turning it clockwise. During the first rotations
you should be able to rotate the thru axle nearly without resistance.
Now turn the lever forcefully clockwise until the axle is hand-tight.
Make sure the quick-release lever does not slip out of the axle recess
during tightening. Finish by closing the Maxle thru axle quick-release
lever like a usual quick-release lever. Make sure the quick-release lever
does not stand out to the front or to the side.
7.3.3.2. Fox E-Thru 15 mm
If your bike is equipped with a Fox E-Thru 15-mm-thru-axle-system, put the
front wheel into the fork and mount the rotor in the brake calliper. Bring
the front wheel into the right position between the drop-outs and slide
the axle with open E-Thru quick-release lever from the left side through the
drop-out and the hub. As soon as the axle thread engages with the thread
of the right fork leg, close it by turning it clockwise. During the rst rota-
tions you should be able to rotate the thru axle nearly without resistance.
Tighten the axle a little and then release it by about a third of a turn.
Close the E-Thru quick-release lever like a usual quick-release lever.
From the start of the closing movement up to about the first half of its
travel the lever should move very easily without clamping the wheel,
whereas over the second half of its travel the force you need to move
it should increase considerably. Towards the end of its travel the lever
should be very hard to move.
If the lever cannot be closed completely, re-open it and turn the axle a
little anticlockwise. Try closing the quick-release lever once again. Use
the palm of your hand while your fingers pull on an immovable part,
such as the fork leg, but not on a spoke or the rotor. In its end posi-
tion the quick-release lever should be tight so that it can no longer be
turned. Make sure the quick-release lever does not stand out to the front
or to the side. The best closing position is in nearly upright position in
front of the lower leg.
The Wheels
Danger:
Check the tight t of
whatever wheel fastening
system possible after a few
kilometres (miles) or hours
of use, at the latest however
after 4 hours or 80 km (50
miles). A loose wheel fasten-
ing can throw the rider o
his bike with unforeseeable
consequences for life and
limb.
