6.3 Front wheel quick release
6.3.1 General
WARNING:
Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick-
release can allow the wheel to wobble or disengage
from the bicycle, which may cause damage to the
bicycle and serious injury to the rider. Therefore, it is
essential that you:
a. ask your dealer for assistance in installing and
removing your wheels safely
b. understand and apply the correct technique for
clamping your wheel in place with a quick-release
c. check that the wheel is securely clamped in the
fork before each and every ride.
Because of its adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand how a quick-release lever cam works and
how to use it properly.
While it may appear at first glance to be a nut and bolt configuration (a long bolt with a lever on one end and
a nut on the other), in fact the wheel quick-release uses a cam action to clamp the bike’s wheel in place
(see fig. 31).
CAUTION:
Holding the nut with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other hand until tight will not
clamp the wheel safely in the dropouts. The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the wheel
securely.
6.3.2 Adjusting the quick-release mechanism
The wheel’s hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick-release cam pushing against one dropout and
pulling the tension adjusting nut, by way of the skewer, against the other dropout. The amount of clamping
force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the
cam lever from rotating increases clamping force; turning it anti-clockwise while keeping the cam lever from
