Seatpost Quick Release - Orbea Multi-speed bicycle Owner's Manual

b. Installing a Bolt-On Front Wheel
(1) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork blades so that the axle seats firmly at the top
of the slots which are at the tips of the fork blades. The axle nut washers should be on the outside, between the fork
blade and the axle nut. If your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention device, engage it.
(2) While pushing the wheel firrmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same time centering the wheel
rim in the fork, use the correct size wrench to tighten the axle nuts enough so that the wheel stays in place; then use
a wrench on each nut simultaneously to tighten the nuts as tight as you can.
(3) Re-engage the brake quick-release mechanism to restore correct brake pad-to-rim clearance; spin the wheel to make
sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze the brake lever and make sure that the
brakes are operating correctly.
c. Removing a Bolt-On Rear Wheel
Warning
!
If your bike is equipped with an internal gear rear hub, do not attempt to remove the rear wheel. The removal
and re-installation of internal gear hubs require special knowledge. Incorrect removal or assembly can result in
hub failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
(1) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's quick-release mechanism to open the clearance between the tire
and the brake pads (see Section 4.C, figs. 11 through 15).
(2) Shift the rear derailleur to high gear (the smallest rear sprocket) and pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
(3) Using the correct size wrench, loosen the two axle nuts.
(4) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and, with the derailleur still pulled back, push the wheel forward and
down until it comes out of the rear dropouts.
