  • Page 6 Appendix: Quick Release Levers Many Izip and Ezip bicycle models use quick release (QR) levers to facilitate common tasks such as front wheel removal and seat height adjustment. When properly adjusted, quick release levers are both safe and convenient, but you must understand and apply the correct technique to adjust them properly before riding your bicycle to prevent serious injury or death from a fall. Quick release levers use a cam action to clamp the wheel or other components in place. Because of their adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand how they work, how to use them properly, and how much force you need to apply to secure them. Warning: The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the wheel securely. Holding the nut with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut is NOT a safe or effective way to close a quick release and will not clamp the wheel or other components safely. open closed Springs Tension QUICK RELEASE USAGE adjusting nut Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow the wheel to wobble or fall off the bicycle, which can cause serious injury or death. Therefore, it is essential that you: Remove the tension adjusting nut and one of the small springs, then slide the quick release skewer through the hub. If your bicycle has a disc brake, insert the skewer starting on the side with the brake rotor. Replace the spring and tension adjusting nut (fig a). 1. Ask your dealer or a local bike shop to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your wheels safely. If your bicycle has rim brakes, disengage them to increase the clearance between the tire and brake pads. 2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place with a quick release. 3. Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped. Install the wheel into the dropouts, making sure the quick release lever is on the left side of the bicycle. Holding the quick release lever in the OPEN position with one hand, tighten the tension adjusting nut with your other hand until it is finger tight Installing a quick release front wheel against the fork dropout. In a quick release system, the wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam pushing against one dropout and pulling the tension While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same time centering the wheel rim in the fork, move the quick- adjusting nut, by way of the skewer, against the other dropout. The amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the...
  • Page 7 Notes: Adjusting a quick release seatpost clamp Tension adjusting In a seatpost quick release system, the seatpost is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam pushing against one side of the clamp and pulling the tension adjusting nut, by way of the skewer, against the other. The amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating increases clamping force; turning it counterclockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the difference between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force. With the quick release clamp in the OPEN position, insert the seatpost, with saddle attached, into the bicycle’s seat tube. open Swing the quick release lever into the CLOSED position. Grab the saddle with both hands and attempt to rotate it (and thus rotate the seatpost in the seat tube). If you are able to force the seatpost out of alignment with the frame, the seatpost clamp needs to be adjusted. Holding the quick release lever in the OPEN position with one hand, tighten the tension adjusting nut with your other hand about 1/2 turn clockwise. Attempt to swing the lever into the CLOSED position. If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to the CLOSED position (figure b), return the lever to the OPEN position, then turn the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening the lever again. Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 until proper quick release tension is achieved. Closed...
