Please note:
The thread of the adjusting nut of the
quick release must be tightened on the
quick release axle by at least 5 full
turns, so that adequate clamping force
is ensured. A quick release axle which
is too short can lead to accidental loo-
sening of the rear wheel and thereby
to damage or accidents.
If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!
Tip:
For bicycles where the length of the standard quick release is insufficient, a special quick release with longer axle is available.
2.1.2 Fitting the Drawbar to the Coupling Unit
Push the square drawbar connection
over the coupling unit attached to the
bicycle.
Insert the spring clip bolt through the
holes of both coupling parts and
close the clip so that the clip opening
surrounds the bolt end.
Please note:
Always attach the safety strap to the
chain stay!
Put the safety tie around the rear sec-
tion of the bicycle frame and fasten it
to the drawbar D-ring with the snap
hook.
Please note:
A coupling, which is incorrectly fitted, could become loose and could slip sideways into the spokes during braking. There is
considerable danger that the cyclist will fall or become injured. Please therefore always ensure before every journey that the
coupling is correctly and securely positioned.
Dismantle the quick release and guide
the quick release axle through the
coupling unit. Push the quick release
through the hollow axle again and
screw on the adjusting nut, tightening it
in a clockwise direction until the contact
surfaces of the quick release are up
against the dropout. Close the quick
release lever.
2.1.1.2 Bicycle with Quick Release Axle
The quick release is properly adjusted
when you can clearly feel resistance as
you tighten. You should feel this resi-
stance about 60° before the end of the
lever movement. If it is too easy or too
difficult to move the quick release lever,
slightly tighten or loosen the Q.R. adju-
sting nut on the other side of the hub.
Please note:
If you do not feel confident when fit-
ting the quick release for the first time,
please ask your stockist.
