Front Wheel; Remove Stem - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Packing: Front Wheel
7. Remove Front Wheel
A�er removing the front
wheel, close the brake again.
Remove the quick release
from the axle by undoing
the knurled nut. Be careful
not to lose the small cone-
shaped springs.
Put the quick release through
the fork spreader (the short
PVC dowel), and thread on the knurled nut again. Both small cone-
shaped springs should be on the quick release sha�.
8. Install Fork Spreader
Slip the fork spreader
between the drop outs on
the fork, and lightly tighten
the quick release.
The fork spreader will help
prevent damage to your
frame when traveling.
9. Open Cable Splitters
Disconnect all of the center
section cable spli�ers,
including the rear brake
cable spli�er. If you have a
Project Q tandem, you can
leave the front section cable
spli�ers connected.

10. Remove Capt. Bars
Loosen the handlebar clamp
bolts on the stem, and pull
the bars apart. Depending
on the model of stem, there
may be either one bolt or
two clamp bolts. Let the bars
hang to the side for now.
On bicycles equipped with
flat or H-bars, there will be a
small bu�on-head screw in the center of the clamp. Do not loosen
or remove this screw. It holds the black sleeve in the stem.
11. Remove Captain's Stem
Open the stem quick release at the bot-
tom of the stem (or loosen the clamp
bolt), and remove the stem.
Put the stem into the red felt bag and set
aside.
12. Adjustable Stem
If you have an adjustable
stem or a fit stem, leave the
middle bolt tight to keep
your stem height set prop-
erly. Only loosen the lower
clamp or quick release for
packing purposes.
