Packing: Remove Front Wheel
4. Open Front Brake
If you have a side-pull brake,
simply flip up the small lever
on the side of the brake.
If you have V-brakes, press
the arms together (A), and
then pull the elbow-shaped
noodle out and up (B) while
pushing the noodle holder
down (C). There is a slot in
the end of the noodle holder for the brake cable to slip out.
(If you have disc brakes, there is nothing to disengage.)
5. Remove Front Wheel
Loosen the quick release and
the wheel should drop out.
Close the brake. Remove
the quick release from the
axle by undoing the knurled
nut. Be careful not to lose the
small cone-shaped springs.
Put the quick release through
the fork spreader (the short
PVC dowel), and thread on the knurled nut again. Both small cone-
shaped springs should be on the quick release shaft.
6. Install Fork Spreader
Slip
the
fork
between the drop outs on the
fork, and lightly tighten the
quick release.
The fork spreader will help
prevent damage to your
frame when traveling.
7. Install Disc Brake Rotor Protector (if you have Disc Brakes)
Install the disc brake rotor protector on your front wheel only. Note:
Disc rotor must face up in the suitcase pack otherwise the rotor can
bend in shipping. Best not to touch the rotor with bare hands as oil
can cause rotor to squeel.
