1. Locate the quick release skewer from the small parts carton of your bicycle.
2. Unscrew the lock nut from the quick release skewer, remove outer spring and slide the
skewer through the front wheel axle.
3. Install spring and then start to thread the lock nut back onto the skewer, but do not
tighten too far.
4. Slide the wheel into the fork wheel slots and be sure that the wheel is centered. Your
front wheel has a disc brake, insert the disc rotor into the slot on the caliper body as
you insert the wheel axle into the fork drop out.
5. The handle on the quick release has an "open" and a "closed" position. Move the
handle so it is in the "open" position. With one hand on the handle and one hand on
the lock nut, start to hand tighten the lock nut until you start to feel some resistance
with the fork.

6. Try to close the handle. If it closes easily, open it up, and tighten the lock nut further. If
it is too difficult to close, open the handle, and loosen the lock nut try again.
7. The quick release handle should be difficult to push closed with your palm, but should
be possible. Practice opening and closing the handle until you feel comfortable. DO NOT
attempt to tighten the wheel by turning the handle to tighten; the handle is for securing
the wheel, use the lock nut for adjusting tension.
All quick release levers should be inspected before every ride to be sure they are
fully closed and secure. Failure to properly close the quick release lever can cause
loss of control of the bicycle resulting in injury or death.
Make sure the wheel is properly seated and the quick release is properly closed.
DISC BRAKES

Your bike is fitted with a front disc brake, and the components should already be attached.
However, please check all connections before attempting to ride the bicycle. Secure tightly
Open
the 6 bolts that hold the disc to the front wheel hub and the 2 bolts that hold the brake
mechanism to the fork. Double check that the front hub is inserted into the fork drop outs
correctly and that the quick release is closed and secure.
DISC GETS HOT! Severe injury could result from contact with the hot disc! Mind
your legs, as well as your hands.
If your bike is equipped with a front disc brake, be careful not to damage the
disc, caliper or brake pads when re-inserting the disc into the caliper. Never
activate a disc brake's control lever unless the disc is correctly inserted in the
caliper.

These brakes require breaking in! Ride and use the brakes gently for a few miles
before using the brakes in downhill conditions, for sudden stops, or any other
serious braking. Please be aware that your brake system will change in
performance throughout the wear-in process. The disc brake should be cleaned
before the first ride using rubbing alcohol. NEVER use oil or similar products to
Close
clean your disc brake system.
