Dismounting wheels
To dismount the wheel release the four bolts which en-
sure the fixing of the axle to the fork by two to three turns.
Do not unscrew the bolts completely. Subsequently, re-
lease the counterpart of the axle/bolt cap and remove
the axle completely from the hub.

Mounting wheels
If your bike is equipped with a Marzocchi 15mm QR sys-
tem (a), put the front wheel into the fork and mount the
rotor in the brake caliper.
Bring the front wheel into the right position between the
drop-outs. Insert the thru axle with the E-Thru quick-re-
lease lever open from the right through the drop-out and
the hub.
As soon as the axle thread engages with the thread of
the left fork leg, close the axle by turning it clockwise.
In doing so, keep hold of the counter nut on the left fork
side. During the first rotations you should be able to ro-
tate the thru axle nearly without resistance. Tighten the
axle a little.
Close the Marzocchi quick-release lever like a usual
quick-release lever.
At the beginning you should feel virtually no resistance
and clamping effect. When the lever is at right angle the
resistance you feel should increase significantly and to-
wards the end you should need even more strength to
close the lever.
If you do not succeed in closing the lever completely,
open it again. Keep hold of the nut and turn the axle a
a
little counterclockwise. Try again to close the quick-re-
lease lever.
Use the palm of your hand to push it in all the way while
your fingers pull on the fork leg, but not on a spoke.
In its end position the quick-release lever should be
tight so that it can no longer be turned. Make sure the
quick-release lever does not stand out to the front or to
the side and does not touch the fork. The best closing
position is in nearly upright position in front of the lower
leg.
Dismounting wheels
If your bike is equipped with a Marzocchi 15mm QR sys-
tem, open the quick-release lever completely. Hold the
nut on the left side tight and turn the thru axle counter-
clockwise.
Once you have screwed out completely the thru-axle
thread from the thread of the lower leg, you can remove
the thru axle completely.
