Front Wheel Installation - Delta mDrive User Manual

FRONT WHEEL INSTALLATION

Bicycle wheels are designed to be removeable for easier transportation and for
repairing punctures. Align the disc rotor into the brake caliper and then insert the hub
axle on the wheel into the fork dropouts. The wheels are secured with the supplied
axle nuts and washers (where applicable) which are threaded onto the hub axle.
1. Ensure all the packing material is removed from the fork paying close attention to
the plastic fork protector at the bottom of the fork legs.
2. Remove the plastic spacer from the brake caliper.
3. Insert the front wheel into the fork by carefully aligning the disc rotor into the
disc caliper and then locate the axle into the fork dropout. Note: you may need to
loosen the axle nuts a few turns to get the axle into the fork dropouts.
4. Check the axle is fully inserted into the fork dropouts and tighten the axle nuts to
30Nm torque.
5. The wheel should spin freely and stop easily by pulling the left hand brake lever.
If the wheel does not turn or the disc rotor is rubbing on the caliper first re-check
the above assembly sequence and check the axle is sitting correctly in the fork
dropouts.
6. If problems continue you may need to adjust the caliper – refer to Brake
Maintenance section or consult a trained bicycle technician.
7. At this point it is recommended you check the inflation of both the front and rear
tires. Please refer to the Tires, Tubes and Wheels maintenance section.
