Adjusting the Quick Release Mechanism
The amount of clamping force for the quick release is
controlled by the tension nut.
To increase the clamping force, turn the tension nut
clockwise while holding cam lever fixed with the other
hand.
To decrease clamping force, turn the tension nut
counter-clockwise while holding cam lever fixed with the
other hand.
A QUARTER TURN OF THE TENSION ADJUSTING
NUT CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SAFE
CLAMPING FORCE AND AN UNSAFE CLAMPING FORCE.
To check the clamping force, attempt to close the quick
release lever. If you can close the quick release lever
completely without using the fork, frame, or steering
extender for leverage, and the lever closes without leaving
a visible impression in your hand, then the quick release
does not have enough clamping force. If, while using one
hand on the fork, steering extender or frame for leverage,
you cannot completely close the lever with the other hand,
then the quick release has too much clamping force.
If there is too little clamping force, tighten the nut
one-quarter turn and try clamping again. Repeat this
until closing the lever requires grabbing the fork, frame or
steering extender and leaves a mark in your hand. If there
is too much clamping force, loosen the nut one-quarter
turn and try clamping again. Repeat this until closing the
lever requires grabbing the fork, frame or steering
extender and the lever leaves a clear mark in your hand.
