B. Adjusting the cam-and-cup mechanism
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.
3. Removing and Installing wheels
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.
2. If your bike has cam action front wheel retention,
move the cam lever from the locked or CLOSED
position to the OPEN position (Figure 4.1). 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. If your front fork has
an integral secondary retention device, and a
traditional cam action system (Figure 4.2) loosen
the tension adjusting nut enough to allow removing
the wheel from the dropouts. If your front wheel
uses a cam-and-cup system, squeeze the cup and
cam lever together while removing the wheel. No
rotation of any part is necessary with the cam-and-
cup system. You may need to tap the top of the
wheel with the palm of your hand to release the
wheel from the front fork.
