Step 2: Install the front wheel
1. Ensure the fork is facing forward. Rotate it to ensure it moves freely without binding
any of the cables (Figure 1).
WARNING:
Do not touch the brake rotor. The sharp edges can cause serious injury.
Touching the brake rotor or brake pads with bare skin can transfer natural oils to either
component, which may decrease braking performance. It is recommended to wear
clean gloves during assembly.
2. Place the wheel in a central position between the frame dropouts and the fork.
3. Install the quick release and ensure each side has a spring (the small opening in
the springs should be facing inwards). Note: Ensure the quick release lever is on
the same side as the brake disc (Figure 2).

4. Tighten the adjusting nut.
5. Close the quick-release lever. To prevent it coming loose, it is necessary to tighten
the adjusting nut, so that the quick-release lever requires a moderate amount of
force to close but not to a point where it is difficult to close it.
