CAUTION!
If your bike is equipped with a front disk brake, be careful not to
damage the disk, caliper or brake pads when re-inserting the
disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake's control lever
unless the disk is correctly inserted in the caliper. See also
Section D.3.
1. If your bike has cam action front wheel retention, move the
cam lever so that it curves away from the wheel (Figure 4.1).
This is the OPEN position. If your bike has through bolt or
bolt-on front wheel retention, go to the next step.
2. With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel
between the fork blades so that the axle seats firmly at the top
of the fork dropouts. The cam lever, if there is one, should be
on rider's left side of the bicycle (Figure 4.1). If your bike has a
clip-on type secondary retention device, engage it.
3. If you have a traditional cam action mechanism: holding the
cam lever in the ADJUST position with your right hand, tighten
the tension adjusting nut with your left hand until it is finger
tight against the fork dropout (Figure 4.1). If you have a
cam-and-cup system: the nut and cup (Figure 4.1) will have
snapped into the recessed area of the fork dropouts and no
adjustment should be required.

4. While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the
fork dropouts, and at the same time centering the wheel rim in
the fork.
A. With a cam action system, move the cam lever upwards
and swing it into the CLOSED position (Figure 4.1). The
lever should now be parallel to the fork blade and curved
toward the wheel. To apply enough clamping force, you
should have to wrap your fingers around the fork blade
for leverage, and the lever should leave a clear imprint in
the palm of your hand.
B. With a through-bolt or bolt-on system (Figure 4.2),
tighten the fasteners to the torque specifications in
Appendix F.3 or the hub manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: If, on a traditional cam action system, the lever cannot be
pushed all the way to a position parallel to the fork blade, return
the lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the tension adjusting
nut counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening the
lever again.
5. With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the fasteners to
the torque specifications in Appendix F.3 or the hub
manufacturer's instructions.
