Possible positions for quick releases/through axles
If your bicycle has one or several full
floating axles, please read the corre-
sponding instructions provided by the
component manufacturer on how to operate
and service these parts.

Using quick releases

Quick releases are systems installed on the bicy-
cle in place of bolted connections. They consist
of two parts: The clamping lever, which provides
the necessary clamping force, and the locking
nut, which allows you to regulate the clamping
force. You can change the setup of your quick
release when the clamping lever is open.
The quick release closes with the
correct holding force when count-
er-pressure is visible at the centre of
the lever movement and the force of the ball
of your thumb is required to close the lever
completely.
