To examine the adjustment of the hub bearings
1. Lift the end of the bicycle off the ground with one hand and try to move the rim
from the left to the right. Look, feel, and listen for a movement in the bearings.
2. Turn the wheel and listen for a grinding noise or other noises that are not usual.
3. Repeat these procedures for the other wheel.
If the hub feels loose or makes a grinding noise, servicing is necessary. The
adjustment of the wheel bearings makes special tools and training necessary. Only
your dealer should adjust bearings.
Wheel Installation
Bicycles use different types of wheel attachment devices. Carefully follow the
instructions for the device(s) on your bicycle.
WARNING
A quick-release that is not correctly adjusted and closed can let the wheel be loose or come off, decrease your control,
and cause you to fall. Make sure the wheels are correctly attached before you ride your bicycle.
To install a wheel with a traditional quick-release
1. Move the lever of the quick-release to the OPEN position and set the wheel so it
fully touches the inner surfaces of the fork ends.
