Using the Quick-Release Lever
- Before installing
wheel, check that quick-release levers are in the open position (step 1 in the drawing
below). Place the wheel into the dropouts of the fork, and slide
the axle in through the fork and through the hub (step 2).
- Thread the axle in
until hand tight.
- Rotate the axle lever
to the closed position and push until it has clicked in.

- Compress fork
a few times to ensure that the lower leg is settled into its lowest
friction point on the axle.
- Close both
QR Levers by rotating until the backside of lever contacts the lower leg.

- Return to the next
step of Installing the 36.
