CHAPTER ONE
Guide to Safe On-and-Off Road Operation
Check the attachment of both wheels.
To be ridden safely, the wheels of your bicycle
must be firmly attached to the frame and fork. Bicycle
wheels are attached by either threaded axle nuts
or a quick-release, a lever-actuated wheel retention
mechanism (Figure 1.7) that allows the wheel to
be installed and removed without tools. For wheels
attached with axle nuts, see page 8.
WARNING
A quick-release that is not properly adjusted and closed may
allow the wheel to be loose or come off unexpectedly, causing
you to lose control and fall. Make sure the quick-release is
adjusted and closed properly before riding the bike.

Figure 1.8 Proper lever throw
Quick-release adjustment and closure
For proper and safe adjustment of a quick-release,
read and follow these instructions carefully.
To adjust the tension of a quick-release
1. Move the quick-release lever to the
OPEN
position (Figure 1.6) and set the wheel so it
firmly touches the inside of the fork ends.
2. With the lever about halfway between the
OPEN
position and the
CLOSED
position,
tighten the quick-release adjusting nut (Figure
1.7) until finger-tight.
3. Place the lever in the palm of your hand and
throw the lever as shown in Figure 1.8 to the
CLOSED
position (Figures 1.10-1.11). At the
half-closed position of the lever, there should be
some resistance.
• Do not tighten the quick-release wheel
retention mechanism by turning the lever
like a wing nut (Figure 1.9); it will not result
in sufficient force to hold the wheel in place.
