Install the left and right dropouts. The threaded steel backing
plates are side-specific and must match the correct side dropouts.
Do not tighten the dropout bolts yet, leave them 1/4 turn loose.
NOTE: Make sure the bolt threads and washers are greased.
4
Install the rear wheel in the loose dropouts. Tightening the
quick-release will self-align the wheel and dropouts.
