4. Shifting Rod
Underneath the click box is
a small screw head called
the shi�ing rod. The click
box pulls or pushes this rod
in and out to shi� gears.
Normally you do not need
to remove this rod to remove
the wheel.
However, be careful not to
bend the rod head. If you need to remove the rear wheel to pack
your bike, either remove the rod and keep it in a safe location or
put the protector sleeve (required for only a few bike models) over
the axle and pin head.
If you wish to add some oil to the hub, remove the shi�ing rod and
dip or coat the rod with good quality oil. See the paragraph on hub
maintenance for more information.
When screwing the shi�ing rod back into the hub, be careful not to
over-tighten. Just lightly tighten the shi�ing rod with a flat screw-
driver, until snug.
5. Removing Rear Wheel
With the click box removed,
loosen the two axle nuts
with a 15mm wrench, a
crescent wrench, or your
pedal/headset wrench in
the tool pouch. The wheel
should slide out.
The axle washers have a tab
on one side. When reinstall-
ing the rear wheel, place the washers on the outside of the drop
outs (the part of the frame which holds the wheels), with the tab
pointed down and facing toward the wheel. With the axle properly
seated in the drop outs, tighten the axle nuts securely.
Do not forget to reconnect the brake a�er installing the wheel!

6. Reattaching Click Box
To rea�ach your click box
to the axle, first ensure the
black bu�on is all the way
down, flush with the top as
in Figure 3. If you cannot
get the bu�on down, it is
because the shi� cable pulled
the small black shi�ing fork
(circled in Figures 6 and 6a)
out of its proper position.
This can happen when the
click box hangs by the shi�
cable. First, make certain the
shi� cable housing is prop-
erly seated at the shi� lever,
any cable stops, and in the
click box barrel adjuster.
Next, to get the bu�on
down, push the fork tip
down toward the hole in the box with your finger while applying
pressure to the black bu�on. You may need to keep your finger on
this bu�on to keep it from popping up from cable movement.
7. Mount Click Box
With the bu�on down,
place the click box over the
axle end as far as it will go,
and then press the black
bu�on up. Your click box
is now properly connected.
With very gentle tugging
you should only feel slight
spring-like resistance.
