Tech; A Wheels; Wheel Quick Release - Orbea Multi-speed bicycle Owner's Manual

It's important to your safety, performance and enjoyment to understand how things work on your bicycle. We urge you
to ask your dealer how to do the things described in this section before you attempt them yourself, and that you have
your dealer check your work before you ride the bike. If you have even the slightest doubt as to whether you understand
something in this section of the Manual, talk to your dealer. See also Appendix A p. 46.
A. Wheels
Note
If you have a mountain bike equipped with through axle front or rear wheels, make sure that your dealer has
given you the manufacturer's instructions, and follow those when installing or removing a through axle wheel.
If you don't know what a through axle is, ask your dealer.

1. Wheel Quick Release

Warning
!
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:
1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your wheels safely.
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.
The wheel quick release uses a cam action to clamp
the bike's wheel in place (see fig. 6). Because of its
adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand
how it works, how to use it properly, and how much
force you need to apply to secure the wheel.
