28 29Quick Release Wheels1. Locate the quick release skewer from the small parts carton of yourbicycle. Some tire tread patterns have a direction, so compare your fronttire and rear tire of the bicycle so that both tread patterns face the sameway. (Fig. A)2. Unscrew the lock nut from the quick release skewer, remove outer springand slide the skewer through the front wheel axle so that the handle ison the left side of the bike (the side opposite the chain). (Fig. B)3. Install spring and then start to thread the lock nut back onto the skewer,but do not tighten too far.4. Slide the wheel into the fork wheel slots and be sure that the wheel iscentered.5. Inspect the handle, note that there’s an “open” and a “closed” position.Move the handle so it is in the “open” position. With one hand on thehandle and one hand on the lock nut, start to hand tighten the lock nutuntil you start to feel some resistance with the fork.6. Try to close the handle. If it closes easily, open it up, and tighten the locknut further. If it is too dificult to close, open the handle up, and loosenthe lock nut a little and try again.7. The quick release handle should be dificult to push closed with yourpalm, but should be possible. Practice opening and closing the handleuntil you feel comfortable. DO NOT attempt to tighten the wheel byturning the handle to tighten; the handle is for closing, the lock nut(opposite side) is for adjusting the tension. (Fig. C)Next go back and check that the handlebars are perpendicular to thefront wheel, go back to handlebar assembly and re-adjust if needed.All quick release levers should be inspected before every ride tobe sure they are fully closed and secure. Failure to properly close aquick release lever can cause loss of control of the bicycle resultingin injury or death.Make sure the wheel is properly seated and the quick release isproperly closed.BICYCLEASSEMBLYBICYCLEASSEMBLYCLOSEFIG.
