About Quick Release Skewer
A Quick Release Skewer is a device used
to easily install or remove the wheels from
your bicycle frame.
Most sport bicycles come with a Q/R. We
suggest when using the trainer you replace
the Q/R to the supplied one to promise a
correct fit.

another acorn spring and the nut on the

Set the Q/R lever angle between
the 12 and 4 o'clock position.
Any other angle may cause the
bike to detach from the couplings.

!
When you tighten the Q/R, make
sure the wheel is located exactly in
the center of the bike frame.
Do not leave the wheel at an angle.
!
If the Q/R has not been tightened
proper-ly, it could cause the wheel
to come out of the frame and
cause an accident.
