WARNING!
Securely clamping the wheel with a cam action retention device
takes considerable force. If you can fully close the cam lever
without wrapping your fingers around the fork blade for
leverage, the lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of
your hand, and the serrations on the wheel fastener do not
emboss the surfaces of the dropouts, the tension is insufficient.
Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a
quarter turn; then try again. See also the first WARNING in this
Section.
6. If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism in Figures
4.5–4.8, re-engage it to restore correct brake pad-to-rim
clearance.
7. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and
clears the brake pads; then squeeze the brake lever and make
sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
A. Removing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
1. If you have a multi-speed bike with a derailleur
gear system: shift the rear derailleur to high gear
(the smallest, outermost rear sprocket).
If you have an internal gear rear hub, consult your
dealer or the hub manufacturer's instructions
before attempting to remove the rear wheel.
If you have a single-speed bike with rim or disk
brake, go to step (4) below.
2. If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's
quick-release mechanism to increase the clearance
between the wheel rim and the brake pads
(see Section D.3).
3. On a derailleur gear system, pull the derailleur
body back with your right hand.
4. With a cam action mechanism, move the quick-
release lever to the OPEN position. With a through
bolt or bolt on mechanism, loosen the fastener(s)
with an appropriate wrench, lock lever or integral
lever; then push the wheel forward far enough to
be able to remove the chain from the rear
sprocket.
5. Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and
remove it from the rear dropouts.
B. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
CAUTION!
If your bike is equipped with a rear 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.
1. With a cam action system, move the cam lever to
the OPEN position (see Figure 4.1). The lever
should be on the side of the wheel opposite the
derailleur and freewheel sprockets.
