CAUTION: If your bike has a disc brake, exercise care in touching the rotor or caliper. Disc rotors
have sharp edges, and both rotor and caliper can get very hot during use.
a. Removing a disk brake or rim brake Front Wheel
(1) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's quick-release mechanism
to increase the clearance between the tire and the brake pads (see Section
4.C, figs. 14 through 18, p. 19).
(2) If your bike has cam action front wheel retention (Quick release mechanism),
move the cam lever from the locked or CLOSED position to the OPEN
position (fig 11a, fig 11b). Then go to step (4).
(3) If your bike has through bolt or bolt-on front wheel retention (fig 9, fig 10),
loosen the fastener(s) a few turns counter-clockwise using an appropriate
wrench, lock key or the integral lever. Then go to step (4).
(4) If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it
and go to step (5). If your front fork has an integral secondary retention device,
and a traditional cam action system (fig. 8) loosen the tension adjusting nut
enough to allow removing the wheel from the dropouts. If your front wheel
uses a cam-and-cup system, squeeze the cup and cam lever together while
removing the wheel. No rotation of any part is necessary with the
cam-and-cup system. Then go to next step.
(5) Raise the front wheel a few inches off the ground and tap the top of the wheel
with the palm of your hand to release the wheel from the front fork.
b. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Front Wheel
CAUTION: If your bike is equipped with a front disk brake, be careful not to damage the disk, caliper
or brake pads when re-inserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake's control lever
unless the disk is correctly inserted in the caliper. See also Section 4.C.
(1) If your bike has cam action (Quick Release) front wheel retention, move the cam lever so that it curves away
from the wheel (fig. 11b). This is the OPEN position. If your bike has through bolt or bolt-on front wheel
retention, go to the next step.
(2) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork blades so that the axle seats firmly
at the top of the fork dropouts. The cam lever, if there is one, should be on rider's left side of the bicycle (fig.
8a). If your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention device, engage it.
(3) If you have a traditional cam action mechanism, holding the cam lever in the OPEN position with your right
hand (fig 11b), tighten the tension adjusting nut with your left hand until it is finger tight against the fork
dropout (fig. 8a). If you have a cam-and-cup system: the nut and cup will have snapped into the recessed
area of the fork dropouts and no adjustment should be required.
(4) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same time centering the
wheel rim in the fork:
(a) With a cam action system (Quick Release), move the cam lever upwards and swing it into the CLOSED
position (fig. 11a). The lever should now be parallel to the fork blade and curved toward the wheel. To
apply enough clamping force, you should have to wrap your fingers around the fork blade for leverage,
and the lever should leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand.
(b) With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the fasteners to the torque specifications in Appendix D
or the hub manufacturer's instructions.
that the wheel stays in place; then use a wrench on each nut simultaneously to tighten the nuts as tight
as you can.
NOTE: If, on a traditional cam action system, the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to the
fork blade, return the lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise
one-quarter turn and try tightening the lever again. With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the fasteners to
the torque specifications in Appendix D or the hub manufacturer's instructions.
Use the correct size wrench to tighten the axle nuts enough so
