Front Wheel Installation
To install the front wheel follow these steps:
1. Place the bike on the kickstand.
2. Check the rotational direction arrow on the tire and
ensure it is pointing forward.
3. Open the quick release lever on the front wheel.
4. Insert the wheel into the fork. Press down on the head
tube to ensure the quick release skewer is properly seated
in the fork dropouts. Adjust the tension nut to ensure
there is enough clearance for the wheel to seat properly.
5. Tighten the tension nut and close the quick release
lever so that there is appropriate clamping force as
described in the Quick Release Clamping Systems
section above.
6. Once the quick release has been adjusted, open the
lever. Apply downward pressure to the frame and
fork with the wheel resting on the ground so the wheel
properly seats inside the fork dropouts. While still pressing
down with one hand, use the other hand to close the quick
release lever with the proper amount of force.
7. Close the brake quick release. See the Brakes section
above for detailed instructions on closing your brake
quick release system.
8. Rotate the wheel while looking and listening for a rubbing
brake pad. If rubbing is present, open the quick
release and re-seat the wheel by repeating steps
6 - 8. IF BRAKE RUBBING PERSISTS DO NOT RIDE,
instead have your bike inspected by a professional bike
mechanic or ElliptiGO technician.
WARNING! If your rims are damaged, cracked or worn out, or
brake rubbing persists, DO NOT RIDE. Instead, consult a bicycle
mechanic or contact ElliptiGO® Customer Service.
