Front Wheel
If the bicycle does not have a front fender, go to Step 2.
1. Attach front fender [1] to the fork [2] with screws [9].
2. Assemble the front wheel to the fork:
- If the axle nuts are already attached to the front wheel
axle, begin by removing them with an open end
wrench or adjustable wrench
- Set the wheel into the front fork. If the tire will not go
down between the brake shoes
[4], remove one brake shoe
WARNING: Return the brake shoe to the correct
position as written in the “Caliper Brake System
adjustments” section.
NOTE: If the bicycle does not use nuts [7] to attach
the front wheel, go to Step 3.
- Put each fender brace [5] over the end of the axle [3]
- Install wheel retainers [6] making sure the tabs are in
the fork
NOTE: Some models have a front fork with a built in
wheel retention feature and the wheel retainers are
not required.
- Attach the front wheel with serrated nuts
WARNING: Do not use nuts without serrations
to attach the front wheel.
- Put the wheel in the center of the fork and tighten
both nuts to the recommended torque of 21 ft.-lbs.
