d. installing a Bolt-on Rear Wheel
. Shift the rear derailleur to its outermost
position and pull the derailleur body back with
your right hand.
. Put the chain on to the smallest sprocket.
Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts
and pull it completely in to the dropouts. The
axle nut washers should be on the outside,
between the frame and the axle nut.
3. Using the correct size wrench, tighten the axle
nuts enough so that the wheel stays in place;
then use a wrench on each nut simultaneously
to tighten the nuts as tight as you can.
4. Push the rear derailleur back into position.
5. Re-engage the brake quick-release mechanism
to restore correct brake pad-to-rim clearance;
spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered
in the frame and clears the brake pads; then
squeeze the brake lever and make sure that
the brakes are operating correctly.

QUiCk Release
Some bikes are equipped with a quick-release
seat post binder.
binder works exactly like the wheel quick-release
(SECTION 4.A.) While a quick release looks like
a long bolt with a lever on one end and a nut on
the other, the quick release uses a cam action to
firmly clamp the seat post (see fig. 6).
