2.3.3 Axles

The axles connect the wheels and frame (photo 22).

Fixed (12" transit only) and quick-release axles are available

- Fixed axles: regularly check the axle tightening.

- Quick-release axles (photo 23) : depress the button (A) and

insert the axle in the wheel hub.

Position the assembly in the bearing (B) of the multiple adjust-

able wheel mounting until it locks in place. The locking balls

is allowed.

To reduce clearance as much as possible, remove the axle and

adjust the nut using a 19 mm key ; then block the axle with an

11mm open-end key.

Make sure that the axle and the locking balls are clean.

(wipe out every month with a rag soaked with fine oil).

To prevent falls, it is essential that the button (A) and the

locking balls (C) are disengaged providing a perfect lock of the

rear wheels. The quick release axle is a precision part, take care

of shocks and clean regularly to ensure the good working of the

mechanism.
