The Wheels
7.3.1. How to Securely Fasten the Wheel
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open” on the
lever.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read
“CLOSE” on the outside of the lever. From the start of the closing move-
ment up to about the first half of its travel the lever should move very
easily, i.e. without clamping the wheel.
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. Use the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull
on an immovable part such as the fork or the rear frame, but not on a
spoke. In its end position the lever should be parallel to the bike, i.e. it
should not stick out to the side. The lever must lie close to the frame or
fork so that it cannot be opened accidentally.
To check whether the lever is securely locked try to turn it while it is
closed. Press on the end of the lever from the front side.
If you can turn the lever around, the wheel is not securely fastened.
Open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the op-
posite side clockwise by half a turn.
Close the lever again and check it again for tightness. If the lever can
no longer be turned, it is properly fastened.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres from the ground so that the
wheel is suspended and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fas-
tened, the wheel will remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame.
Danger:
Never ride a bicycle without
having rst checked whether
the wheels are securely
fastened! A wheel that comes
loose during the ride will
throw you o your bicycle!
Danger:
Make sure the levers of both
quick-releases are always on
the side opposite the chain
drive. This will help you to
avoid mounting the front
wheel the wrong way round.
Note:
If your bicycle is equipped
with quick-releases, be sure to
lock the frame to an immov-
able object together with
the wheels when you leave
it outside.
