18 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
The brakes are state-of-the-art in aerody-
namics and therefore do not have a release
lever. They cannot be opened. If necessary,
deflate the tyre nearly completely.
Mount the front wheel by carefully pressing
the tyre together and pushing the hub togeth-
er with the quick-release into the drop-outs.
Tighten up the counternut of the quick -
release until the quick-release lever builds up
force when closed.
Close the quick-release. Read the chapter
"How to use quick-releases and thru axles" in
your bicycle manual road bike beforehand.
Inflate the tyre to the maximum pressure in-
dicated on the side of the tyre.
For more information on tyres and inner tubes
read the chapter "The wheels" in your bicycle
manual road bike.
Make sure the front wheel is accurately cen-
tred between the fork blades. Make sure the
quick-release and the drop-out safety-tab are
properly closed and seated. Verify that the
brake is accurately centred with regard to the
rim.
Spin both wheels to make sure they run true.
Check whether the brake pads hit the braking
surfaces of the rims with their entire surface.
For more information read the chapter "The
brake system".
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
Before mounting the pedals, check the mark-
ing on the pedal axles first. "R" stands for
right pedal and "L" for left pedal. Note that the
left pedal has a left-handed thread that has to
be tightened contrary to the direction you are
accustomed to, i.e. anticlockwise.
Apply a little grease on the pedal threads be-
fore screwing in the pedals.
