18. Check that the quick release skewer lever is in the open position. Check that the brake quick
release mechanism is open (not pictured).
19. Shift the derailleur and chain to the highest (smallest) gear (not pictured).
20. Pull back and down on the rear derailleur to open chain and install the cassette between upper and
lower sections of chain so that the chain wraps around the smallest cog.
21. Check that the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts (not pictured).
22. Close the quick release half way, with the quick release lever parallel to the hub axle (not pictured).
23. Tighten the quick release adjusting nut so that it contacts the dropout. When closing the lever,
tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the horizontal position (parallel to the
ground), but you should still be able to reach the fully closed position (90 degrees to the hub axle).
The quick release lever should leave a clear impression on your hand. If the quick release lever
does not leave a clear imprint on your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the
quick release lever and tighten the quick release adjusting nut in small increments until proper
tension is achieved. When closed, the quick release lever should be positioned between the seat
stay and chain stay. Reposition the lever as necessary to achieve this orientation.

24. Close the front brake quick-release mechanism. View front wheel centering in fork. The wheel
should be centered between fork blades. If the wheel is not centered between the fork blades, open
the quick release, make sure the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts, and close the quick
release (see step 17). Inspect brake pad alignment and centering by closing and opening pads with
brake lever. If brake pads are not centered to wheel, see your brake manufacturer's instructions. If
wheel fails to adequately center in the fork, you should consult your SRAM dealer or professional
bicycle mechanic.
25. Close the rear brake quick-release mechanism. View centering of the wheel between chain stays
and seat stays. If the wheel is not centered between the chain stays and/or seat stays, open the
quick release, make sure the wheel axle is fully seated in the dropouts, and close the quick release
(see step 23). If brake pads are not adequately centered to wheel, see your brake manufacturer's
instructions. If further attempts to align the wheel fail to adequately center it in the frame, you should
consult your SRAM dealer or professional bicycle mechanic.
bRAke pADS for clincheR Wheel SeTS
For optimum performance, we recommend using SRAM standard brake pads.
TiRe pReSSuRe
We rate our clincher rims at 125 psi (8,6 Bar) MAX for safety and increased tire life.

Any cleaner that will not affect epoxy resins is acceptable for your rims. Acetone or denatured alcohol
work well on the rims but will damage the decals, so be careful when using.
