ATTACH THE FRONT WHEEL
❶
Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel. If there is a washer
inside of the axle nut, it belongs outside of the fork
dropouts.
❷ Position the front wheel between the front fork legs with
the axle resting inside the fork drop out.
Figure 3.8
Important! Be sure the wheel is as
centered
as possible
between the fork legs.
❸ Place the clip retaining washer on the axle and slide it up
against the fork drop out. Make sure the hooked end is
inside the small hole of the fork dropout. Figure 3.9
❹ Place the two outer axle nuts on and tighten evenly. Tighten
one side part way, then tighten the other side and repeat
until both sides are tightened securely. Be sure that the
wheel remained centered between the fork legs.
❺ If it is off center, loosen the axle nut on the side that has a
smaller gap between tire and fork leg and use your hand to
push the wheel to a centered position; hold the wheel with
one hand and tighten the axle nut and check again. Repeat if
needed to be sure the wheel is centered and securely
tightened.
