CAUTION
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool down before opening the quick-release.
Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read «Open» (b) on the lever. Make sure the
component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters «Adjusting the URBAN JUNGLE bike to the rider» and «Wheels and tyres» and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read »Close» on the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtually no resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/ fork (c).
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase significantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the fork (d) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle (e), i.e. it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is easy to handle for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed (f). If you can turn the lever around, open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clockwise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will remain firmly fixed in the drop- outs of the frame or fork without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame (a, p. 44).
