Step 1
Inserting the front wheel
The Charge comes with a quick release front
wheel, making it easy to put on and take off
without tools.
Add the quick release scewer into the centre of
your front wheel and loosley secure the nut on
the other end by 2 or 3 turnes. There should be
enough space to accomodate the forks either
side of the wheel. Leave the quick release lever in
open position.
Your front wheel can only go in one way because
of the position of the disc and disc brakes.
Holding the wheel upright, slide the forks over
the skewer with the springs on the outside. Make
sure the brake disc fits evenly in-between the
brake calliper.
With the lever still in the open position, hold onto
the quick release nut and start rotating clockwise
until the lever is firm to close. This might take a
few attempts to get the right level of resistance.
You want to be able to feel enough resistance
against the lever to know the wheel is safely
secured in the forks, but not too much that you
can't close it.
It is important that you don't just tighten the
nut with a closed lever, as this can become loose
while riding. It is also important you close the
lever tight enough so the wheel is firmly in place
and will not fall out if you meet an uneven road
surface. Check the quick release is secure before
Add the mudguard by securing to the mudguard
fixings either side of the wheel and to the centre
of the suspension fork, using the bolts provided.
Your front light will also fasten to this central fork
every ride.
