How to Use Quick-Releases and Thru Axles

Quick-Releases

Most STEVENS bicycles are ﬁtted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjust-

ments, assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases

are tight before you set off on your STEVENS bicycle. Quick-releases should be

handled with greatest care, as they directly affect your safety.

Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.

Quick-release mechanisms essentially consist of two operative elements:

1. The hand lever on one side which creates a clamping force via a cam when

you close it.

2. The tightening nut on the other side with which the preload on the threaded rod

(quick-release axle) is set.

Danger:

Never ride a STEVENS

bicycle without having

checked ﬁrst whether

the wheels are securely

fastened. Risk of falling!

Danger:

With an insufﬁciently

closed quick-release the

wheel can come loose,

thus creating a serious

risk of accident!

Caution:

If your STEVENS

bicycle is equipped with

quick-releases, be sure

to lock it to an immova-

ble object together with

the frame when you

leave it outside.

Danger:

Do not touch the rotor directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long down-

hill ride, you may burn your ﬁngers! Always let the rotor cool down before

opening the quick-release!

Danger:

Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side

opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel

accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of STEVENS bicycles with

disc brakes and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable

to mount the quick-release with the levers on the side of the chain drive.

This would help you not to come into contact with the hot rotor and pre-

vent you from having your ﬁngers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have

any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.

How to Fasten Components Securely with a Quick-Release

Open the quick-release. The marking “Open“ on the lever should become vis-

ible now. Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.

For more information see chapters “Adjusting the STEVENS Bicycle to the

Rider” and “The Wheels” further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS

user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manufacturers on the

enclosed CD-ROM.

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.

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 to push it in all the way while your ﬁngers pull on

an immovable part, such as the fork or the rear stay, but not on a rotor or spoke.

In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle,

i.e. it should not stick 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. If you can turn the lever around, open

it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clock-

wise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.

Finally lift the bicycle a few centimetres so that the wheel no longer touches

the ground and slightly 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.

Caution:

If you have hub dynamos, insert the connector into the respective socket

immediately.

Note:

To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.

They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen

key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS

dealer.
