Mounting the quickrelease in the frame/fork
To mount the quick release in your frame or fork, follow the steps below:
- Unscrew knurled nut from the axle.
- Pass the quickrelease through the hub of the wheel after removing the wheel from the frame or fork.
- Screw the knurled nut on threaded end a few turns. The nut must not be screwed on all the way!
- Insert the wheel into your frame or fork. Make sure that it is correctly seated in the dropout!
- Tighten the knurled nut as far as it will go by hand. Fold down the lever of the quick release to build up clamping force via the excenter. It may be necessary to loosen the lever again and turn the nut again to set the desired clamping force. Position the lever so that it cannot be caught by objects while riding.
After tightening, the axle of the quickrelease should protrude from the knurled nut byat least one thread!
Intended use
Our products are designed and tested according to the current standards, which define the safety requirements and test methods for mountain bikes off-road and racing bikes for amateur use on public roads. In both cases, the standards for bikes with adjustable saddle height with a minimum saddle height of 635mm apply.
The standards mentioned do not apply to special types of bicycles such as tandems or bicycles which are used for special applications such as tough competition, stunts or acrobatics.
The standards also do not apply to bicycles with a saddle height ≤ 435mm and a saddle height between 435mm and 635mm.
Please note that our products may only be used in the amateur sector under normal conditions.
Storage & transport
When storing or transporting tune components for a longer period of time, follow these guidelines:
- Components must be stored and transported at a temperature of 15-30°C and max. 70% relative humidity.
- Components must not be exposed to direct or indirect sunlight. Ideally, storage and transport take place in a dark place or covered.
- Avoid large temperature fluctuations, e.g. in a car parked in the sun. Torques must be checked again after storage or transport with large temperature differences to ensure proper function.
- Components must be cleaned and checked for proper function before storage. Before the next operation, a new check for functionality must be carried out.
- Wheels should be stored and transported with the tyres fitted. The mounted tyre reduces the spoke tension and thus the load on the hub flange.
- Do not hang up carbon rims or entire bicycles, as the point load can cause permanent damage to the rim.
- Do not hang up stored bicycles by the saddle to reduce the load on the saddle and seat post.
