WARNING: Securely clamping the wheel with a cam action retention device takes considerable force.
If you can fully close the cam lever without wrapping your fingers around the fork blade for leverage, the
lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, and the serrations on the wheel fastener do
not emboss the surfaces of the dropouts, the tension is insufficient. Open the lever; turn the tension
adjusting nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again. See also the first WARNING in this Section, p. 17.
(5) If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism in 3. a. (1) above, re-engage it to restore correct
brake pad-to-rim clearance.
(6) Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze the
brake lever and make sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
c. Removing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
(1) If you have a multi-speed bike with a derailleur gear system: shift the rear derailleur to
high gear (the smallest, outermost rear sprocket). If you have an internal gear rear
hub, consult your dealer or the hub manufacturer's instructions before attempting to
remove the rear wheel. If you have a single-speed bike with rim or disk brake, go to
step (4) below.
(2) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's quick-release mechanism to
increase the clearance between the wheel rim and the brake pads (see Section 4.C,
figs. 14 through 18, p. 19).
(3) On a derailleur gear system, pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
(4) With a cam action mechanism, move the quick-release lever to the OPEN position (fig. 11b). With a through
bolt or bolt on mechanism, loosen the fastener(s) with an appropriate wrench, lock lever or integral lever (fig
12); then push the wheel forward far enough to be able to remove the chain from the rear sprocket.
(5) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and remove it from the rear dropouts.
d. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
CAUTION: If your bike is equipped with a rear 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.
(1) With a cam action (Quick Release) system, move the cam lever to the OPEN
position (see fig. 11b). The lever should be on the side of the wheel opposite
the derailleur and freewheel sprockets.
(2) On a derailleur bike, make sure that the rear derailleur is still in its outermost,
high gear, position; then pull the derailleur body back with your right hand. Put
the chain on top of the smallest freewheel sprocket.
(3) On single-speed, remove the chain from the front sprocket, so that you have
plenty of slack in the chain. Put the chain on the rear wheel sprocket.
(4) Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts and pull it all the way in to the
dropouts.
(5) On a single speed or an internal gear hub, replace the chain on the chainring;
pull the wheel back in the dropouts so that it is straight in the frame and the
chain has about 1/4 inches of up-and-down play.
(6) With a cam action (Quick Release) system, move the cam lever upwards and
swing it into the CLOSED position (fig. 11a). The lever should now be parallel
to the seat stay or chain stay and curved toward the wheel(fig 13). 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.
(7) With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the fasteners to the torque specifications in Appendix D or the
hub manufacturer's instructions.
stays in place; then use a wrench on each nut simultaneously to tighten the nuts as tight as you can.
Use the correct size wrench; tighten the axle nuts enough so that the wheel
