Quick-releases

Quick-releases consist of a cantilever on
one end that translates a lever movement
into a clamping force by means of a cam.
On the other end is the so-called pre-
tensioning nut which is adjusted on the
threaded axle.
Tips for using quick-releases.
• The quick-release lever for your wheels
should always be on the left side.
• Due to the different axle lengths of the
front (100 mm) and rear (135 mm)
wheels, your Mercedes-Benz Bike
has two quick-releases with different
lengths.
• Open the quick-releases until the
inscription OPEN faces towards you.
When you want to close it again, you
will find that the lever closes easily
to about the half-way point – i.e. no
locking function.
• During the second half of the closing
procedure, the effort needed to close
the release must increase considerab-
ly until the lever can only be moved
with the ball of your hand.
• In its final position, the lever must
be parallel to the forks or rear assemb-
ly. It should not protrude so far that it
can be inadvertently opened. The
inscription CLOSED should face to-
wards you.
• When the lever is closed, it should no
longer be possible to turn it. If this
is possible, this means that the quick-
release is not correctly locked and that
it may work loose. In this case, open
the quick release and repeat the pro-
cedure described.
• When you have finished, simply lift
your wheels from the ground. A secu-
rely attached wheel can no longer be
pushed or pulled out of the axle moun-
tings.
