For dismounting the front wheel you may need tools

according to suspension fork manufacturer and thru

axle system. To dismount the wheel, loosen the axle

support at the fork and remove the axle completely

from the hub. To remount the front wheel proceed

in the reverse order. Make sure all bolts/quick-release

systems are tightened properly. Check the reliable t

of the bolts after one to two hours in use and then

every 20 hours in use.

Improperly mounted AX-Lightness and en-

gage wheels may throw you o your bicy-

cle or result in serious accidents!

To mount the axle only use the tools recom-

mended by the manufacturer. Make it a rule

to use a torque wrench (a). Tighten carefully

by approaching the prescribed maximum

torque in small steps (0.5 Nm increments)

and check in between the proper t of the

component. Never exceed the maximum

torque values indicated by the manufactur-

er! A too tight xing of the axle can damage

the axle or the fork leg.

If your bicycle is equipped with a Maxle thru axle

system (b) with quick-release lever, place the wheel

into the fork and mount the rotor in the brake calliper.

Bring the wheel into the correct position between

the drop-outs and slide the axle with the open Max-

le quick-release lever from the right side through the

drop-out and the hub. As soon as the axle thread en-

gages with the thread of the left drop-out, tighten it

by turning the whole Maxle clockwise. Close the Max-

le quick-release lever like a usual quick-release lever

(see chapter “How to securely mount the wheel”).

The QR15 or E-Thru system

jointly by Shimano and Fox and has a 15 mm thru axle

that optimises weight. It is mounted like the Maxle

system and also operated with a quick-release lever.

The special feature of the QR15/E-Thru compared to

usual quick-release systems is the rm, bolted con-

nection of the tightening nut to the fork leg on the

opposite side of the quick-release lever.

For dismounting the front wheel you may need tools

according to suspension fork manufacturer and thru

axle system

(d). To dismount the wheel, loosen the

axle support at the fork and remove the axle com-

pletely from the hub.

To remount the front wheel proceed in the reverse

order. Make sure all bolts/quick-release systems are

tightened properly.

Check the reliable t of the bolts after one to two

hours in use and then every 20 hours in use.
