Retaining washer Axle Hub Axle nut Fork drop out Cone nuts FRONT WHEEL There are two types of front wheel hubs; Nutted and quick release. Step retaining washer 3.9 Nutted Front Wheels 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. If the washer has a hook or a step, be sure that it engages the fork before tightening the axle nuts. Slide the front wheel between the fork dropouts. If the wheel has a hook shaped washer, be sure that the hook is hooked into the hole above the wheel slot. If there is a step washer, be sure the step fits into the key hole at the top of the wheel slot. Tighten the two outer axle nuts evenly; Tighten one side part way, then tighten the other side and repeat until both sides are tightened securely. Be sure that the wheel is centered between the fork legs. 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. (Fig. 3.9) ASSEMBLY 30 ©2010
