ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Verify that the upper grip areas of the shift/brake le-
vers are in horizontal position. The ends of the drops
are then in parallel to the ground or point slightly
downwards.
Finish by tightening the bolts evenly and in a cross
pattern to the marked tightening torque.
MOUNTING THE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the front wheel from the protective card-
board and from the wheel bag, if available.
Saddle and seat post are fixed to the front wheel with
a band with Velcro fastener and protective film. Care-
fully undo the band and put the saddle and the seat
post aside.
Take the quick-release for the front wheel out of the
small parts box. Release the counternut and remove
one of the springs from the quick-release.
Insert the quick-release into the hollow front wheel
axle.
Make sure there is one spring on either side of the
hub. When mounting the springs on either side of the
quick-release, make sure their small-diameter ends
face the hub.
The quick-release lever is mounted to the left side,
i.e. opposite the chain drive.
Tighten the counternut of the quick-release by no
more than two full turns. Read up on quick-releases
in chapter "How to use the quick-release" in your bi-
cycle manual road bike; also observe the instructions
of the component manufacturer on the enclosed CD.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Remove the protective film from the shift/brake le-
vers.
Open the front brake by releasing the release lever at
the brake (Shimano, SRAM) or by displacing the pin
in the shifter/brake lever (Campagnolo) to allow the
lever to tilt back a little.
If you have disc brakes, check before mounting the
wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in their
seats in the brake calliper. The gaps between the
brake pads and the wheel should be parallel and the
wear indicators in their correct position. Make sure
you guide the rotor between the brake pads carefully.
