38 Quick-release clamp
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
If quick-release clamps are not closed or adjusted properly, they can open while
you are riding and cause the corresponding components to come loose.
» Before setting off, make sure that all quick-release clamps are closed properly
with sufficient initial tension and resting against the component or frame.
» You should only remove or install wheels with quick-release axles yourself if you
have sufficient technical knowledge. Otherwise, contact your specialist dealer.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
If you operate a quick-release clamp without due care, you could crush your fingers.
» Take extra care when opening and closing the quick-release clamp and take care
not to get your fingers caught.
Components secured with quick-release clamps are quick to adjust, remove and install
without using tools.

• Close the quick-release clamp by pushing the lever against the corresponding compo-
nent until it is resting against it.

suitable original spare parts.
