ADJUST QUICK RELEASE
The rear wheels are correctly
clamped in place by the force
generated when the quick release
lever is closed and the cam action
pulls the axle against the dropout,
securing it in place.
The front wheel is correctly clamped
in place by the force generated when
the quick release lever is closed
and the cam action pulls the lever
housing against one dropout, and
pulls the adjusting nut against the
other dropout, clamping the hub
between the dropouts.
The tension adjusting nut sets
the amount of clamping force.
Turning the tension adjusting nut
in the clockwise direction while
preventing the quick release lever
from rotating, increases the amount
of clamping force. Alternatively,
turning the tension adjusting nut
counterclockwise, while preventing
the quick release lever from rotating,
reduces the amount of clamping
force. The tension adjusting nut only
needs minor adjustments to provide
the correct clamping force, less than
a half turn can mean the difference
between safe and unsafe clamping
force.
REAR WHEEL INSTALLATION

Prior to installing the rear wheels,
position the parking brake in the
