Wheel Mounting
1.
Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the wheel to pass through the
brake pads easily. If not already loose, disconnect the front brake by detaching the
cable guide from the carrier.
2.
Place wheel into fork dropouts (Figure 3a)
3.
Install retaining washers with raised lip pointed towards the fork and insert into the
small hole of the fork blade.
4.
Install axle nut and securely tighten (Figures 3a and 3b).
5.
Make sure the wheel is centred between the fork blades. Spin the wheel to make
sure that it is centred and clears the brake shoes. Tighten the brakes if necessary.
6.
If the wheel is out of alignment you will need to true the wheel; when spinning the
wheel and notice the gaps between the brake pads are not consistently the same,
the wheel needs truing. See a qualified bike technician to true wheels.
