How To
Use Your Quick Release
First, fold Quick Release (QR) lever to the open position. For most QR this is when the curve of the lever bulges toward the bike. Also, most QR levers are labled "Open" as is the QR in the picture.

While holding the lever, unscrew (counter clockwise) the nut on the opposite end of the QR. Be careful not to unscrew it completely but just enough to make it clear the "lawyer tabs."

 If you do unscrew it too much and the cone spring falls off be sure that when you reinstall the spring, install the spring with the SMALL end of the spring facing the HUB.

Reinstalling the wheel

Once again make sure the QR is in the open position and is unscrewed enough to clear the "lawyer tabs"

Now, reinstall the wheel with the QR lever on the left side of the bike (non-gear side). Hold the QR lever and turn the nut clockwise until the QR lever "catches" when the lever is half way closed.


Too Tight...
Too Loose...


...Perfect

Now fold the lever closed. You are ready to ride.
