Wheel Removal - Front Wheel
The front wheel is held in place with a solid axle, and can
be removed with two 17mm wrenches and/or sockets.
Remove the locking nut from one side of the wheel, and
gently tap the axle through the wheel. This will free the
wheel assembly from the frame. (Fig. 5)
To disassemble the wheel for servicing the tire and/or tube,
you must first remove the brake disc. Removal requires a
4mm hex wrench. Note that each of the four bolts use
spacers between the disc and the wheel. With the disc
removed, it is possible to access the four bolts and nuts
that secure the two halves of the wheel assembly together.
(Fig. 6) CAUTION: BE SURE TO DEFLATE THE TIRE
PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO DISASSEMBLE THE TWO
WHEEL HALVES. The hardware securing the two wheel
halves will require a 13mm wrench or socket and a 6mm
hex wrench.
With the wheel disassembled, it is advisable to check the
integrity of the two ball bearings that ride within the hub of
the wheel. If they feel worn or do not turn freely, replace
them.
Upon re-assembly, ensure that the three axle spacers are
properly positioned.
