Are you ashamed to contact a service just to put a wheel on your bike? It's time to learn how to get out of this situation on your own. Plus, save time and money.
Instructions
Step 1
Insert the wheel into the ends of the fork and adjust the force of the eccentric clamp that will hold it in the fork. Do not overtighten as this may damage the clip or plug. If the tightening is too loose, the wheel can fall out of the fork, especially if your bike has disc brakes, as they put more stress on the fork than rim brakes.
Step 2
Make sure the wheel fits symmetrically, without any misalignment in relation to the fork tips. If the wheel is centered correctly, that is, without the "eights" and the umbrella, and the fork is not bent, then the wheel itself will certainly stand upright. Otherwise, find the cause of the skew and fix it.
Step 3
Make sure that the wheel axle fits snugly and all the way into the groove in the fork tip. The axle should lie at the very bottom of the groove.
Step 4
If you have hydraulic disc brakes on your bike, carefully insert the brake disc between the brake pads into the caliper while installing the wheel. If the distance between the pads is too small, and you cannot insert the disc between them, in this case, carefully push the pads with a wide screwdriver or something like it. Do not apply too much force to avoid burrs on the brake pads.
Step 5
Rotate the eccentric clamp lever 90 degrees so that it is nearly parallel to the hub axis. Then tighten the wing nut as far as it will go, but do not tighten it.
Step 6
Now turn the cam lock lever so that it is parallel to the fork. At the same time, make sure that the effort is tangible, but not excessively strong. If necessary, turn the wing nut to increase or decrease the compression level.
Step 7
The wheel is installed. If your bike has V-Brakes, remember to fasten them.
