Removing And Installing Wheels - Specialized Roubaix Comp Road Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING: The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp
the wheel securely. Holding the nut with one hand and turning the
lever like a wing nut with the other hand until everything is as tight
as you can get it will not clamp a cam action wheel safely in the
dropouts. See also the first WARNING in this Section, p. 18.
b. Adjusting the cam-and-cup mechanism (fig. 8b)
The cam-and-cup system on your front wheel will have been correctly
adjusted for your bicycle by your dealer. Ask your dealer to check the
adjustment every six months. Do not use a cam-and-cup front wheel on
any bicycle other than the one for which your dealer adjusted it.
WARNING: If your bike is equipped with a hub brake such as a
rear coaster brake, front or rear drum, band or roller brake; or
if it has an internal gear rear hub, do not attempt to remove the
wheel. The removal and re-installation of most hub brakes and
internal gear hubs requires special knowledge. Incorrect removal
or assembly can result in brake or gear failure, which can cause
you to lose control and fall.
CAUTION: If your bike has a disc brake, exercise care in touching
the rotor or caliper. Disc rotors have sharp edges, and both rotor
and caliper can get very hot during use.
a. Removing a disk brake or rim brake Front Wheel
(1) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's quick-release
mechanism to increase the clearance between the tire and the brake pads (See
Section 4.C fig. 11 through 15).
(2) If your bike has cam action front wheel retention, move the cam lever from
the locked or CLOSED position to the OPEN position (figs. 8a & b). If your bike
has through bolt or bolt-on front wheel retention, loosen the fastener(s) a few turns
counter-clockwise using an appropriate wrench, lock key or the integral lever.
(3) If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it
and go to step (4). If your front fork has an integral secondary retention device, and
a traditional cam action system (fig. 8a) loosen the tension adjusting nut enough to
allow removing the wheel from the dropouts. If your front wheel uses a cam-and-
cup system, (fig. 8b) squeeze the cup and cam lever together while removing the
wheel. No rotation of any part is necessary with the cam-and-cup system.
(4) You may need to tap the top of the wheel with the palm of your hand to
release the wheel from the front fork.
b. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Front Wheel
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.
