15 MM QUICK RELEASE INSTALLATION
1. Install the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Slide the axle through the non-drive side dropout and hub.
2. Open the axle lever.
3. Turn the axle clockwise 5-6 complete turns.
4. Close the lever. The lever must have enough tension to leave an imprint on your hand.
5. The closed lever must be between 1-20 mm in front of the fork leg. If the lever does not have enough
tension, or has too much tension when closed at the recommended position (1-20 mm in front of the fork
leg), refer to the next section for adjustment instructions.
Use hand pressure only. Never use any tool to tighten the quick release lever. Over-tightening the
levers can damage the axle or fork dropouts, leading to a sudden failure with one or more of these
components, resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. Conversely, failure to secure the axle properly,
including insufficient tension upon closing, can cause the wheel to become detached from the
bicycle, resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
LEVER POSITION ADJUSTMENT
1. Note which direction the axle lever needs to turn to close with sufficient tension in the proper orientation
(1-20 mm in front of the fork leg).
2. Open the axle lever and unthread the axle from the fork.
3. Use a 4 mm hex wrench in the end of the axle to adjust the lever position in the direction noted in
Step 1. With the 4 mm adjuster set properly, you should start to feel tension in the axle when the QR
lever is 90 degrees before full closure in the vertical position.
4. Repeat the axle installation instructions to verify proper installation and adjustment.
KABOLT INSTALLATION
1. Install the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Slide the
Kabolt axle through the non-drive side dropout and
hub.
2. Use a 6 mm hex wrench to torque the Kabolt axle
clockwise to the torque specification etched on the
head of the Kabolt.
