Wheel Installation
1. Secure the bike upright in a bike stand with the fork off the
ground.
2. Use a clean shop towel to wipe clean the thru-axle and ends
of the fork dropouts.
3. Install the wheel into the dropouts and align the hub with the
fork dropouts.
Make sure the brake disc locates between the brake pads in
the caliper as you insert the wheel between the dropouts.
4. Apply light bicycle grease to the thru-axle threads and around
the bolt head. Make sure the serrated washer is on the thru-
axle with the serration facing the fork. Then insert the
thru-axle into the right side fork dropout and through the
wheel hub.
