IV. Operating Tips

A. Correct Use of the Quick-Release Mechanism

Whether trans port ing your bike or chang ing a ﬂ at, Burley tan dems fea ture quick-

re lease mech a nisms which enable you to easily re move and replace the wheels. As

long as the quick-release is secured properly, the wheel cannot come off. Be sure you

have a thorough un der stand ing of the quick-release mech a nism before riding your

tandem. Ask your Burley dealer for a dem on stra tion if you have anything less than a

thorough understanding of the quick-release mechanism.

The quick-release mechanism consists of ﬁ ve parts as shown in the il lus tra tion

below. Be aware that the quick-release mech a nism is a cam action device, not a nut

and bolt device. At the end of the quick-release lever (inside lever cap) is an eccentric

cam, which provides fail-safe wheel in stal la tion when properly tight ened with the

wheel in the bicycle frame dropout.

Installing the Front Wheel

With the quick-release lever in the OPEN po si tion (concave side fac ing out ward),

insert the wheel's axle up to the top of the slot in the front fork end. You may need to

release the front brake straddle cable to ﬁ t the wheel into place. Be sure to place the

hub axle all the way into the slot (drop out), cen tered between the fork blades. The

lever must be on the left side of the bike.

With the lever sticking straight out (at a 90-de gree angle to the bi cy cle), hand-

tighten the cone-shaped adjusting nut at the op po site end until it is snug. Move

the lever to the CLOSE position, parallel to the fork. With the adjusting nut properly

tightened, you should feel some re sis tance to this motion; it will require a ﬁ rm push

with the heel of your hand to close the lever. If you do not feel such re sis tance, return

the quick-release le ver to the OPEN po si tion, turn the ad just ing nut clock wise one

full turn, and again move the quick-release le ver to the CLOSE po si tion.
