Removing or installing the wheel fixing system

- opened the brake pad (see the Brakes section)

- turned in the quick fastener lever from Closed to Open.

- correctly position your fork on the fastener

SAFETY RING

- turn the quick fastener from Open to Closed.

The force should be sufficient to block your wheel.

Warning :

Before use, lift the wheel from the ground and hit the wheel firmly downwards

(front wheel and then back wheel). The wheel should not come away all be

untightened. In case of uncertainty, tighten again.

You should feel strong resistance lowering the quick fastener lever: the wheel is

then properly assembled.

Warning :

It is extremely dangerous to remove or damage the fastener bolt and an addition

of these two would lead to damage and falls. It may also cancel the guarantee.

cantilever brakes, the drop wire for quick fastener should be correctly mounted.

With brake callipers, the quick fastener lever should be closed.

There are two types of the braking systems on mountain bikes/town

bikes/hybrids: cantiver and the V-Brake system and calipers for road bikes

Adjusting brake pads

1/ Check the alignment of the pad with the rim side.

2/ Check the pads are properly centred relative to the wheel

Be careful to leave 1 mm between the rim and the pad.
