Things to check before riding
Always check your RWS system before riding to make sure that the wheels are correctly
installed on the bicycle frame or fork. Make sure that the tightening force of the RWS lever is
minimum 15 Nm.
Quick check
Lift up the bicycle so that the front or back wheel is off the ground, and give the top of the tire
a few sharp downward hits. The wheel should not be loose or fall off. This check does not guar-
antee that the RWS lever has received adequate tightening torque (min. 15 Nm handforce). If
you are uncertain if the RWS is mounted correctly please ask your dealer.
