FRONT WHEEL INSTALLATION

The brake cable on rim brakes should be disconnected (3-A). If it is connected (3-B), disconnect by holding the brake
arms together and removing the silver insert from the cable stop.
To reconnect after wheel is on, hold the brake arms together and place the silver insert into the cable stop as shown
(3-B) or as seen on the rear brake of your bike.

To install the quick-release front wheel:
Remove the quick-release front skewer (3-C) from the parts box. Align the tread direction of the front tire with that of
the rear. Unscrew the lock nut (3-D) from the quick release skewer, remove the outer spring and slide the skewer
through the front wheel axle. Install spring and start to thread lock nut, but do not tighten. There should be a spring on
each end of the wheel axle. Both springs should have the smaller end facing the wheel axle. (3-D)
