3 - Assembly: Step 1 - Attach Front Wheel
11
B. Step 1 - Attach Front Wheel
(1) Loosen axle bolts (See Figure 3). Loosen the
axle bolts so that the fork wheel will install
onto the fork.
Figure 3 – Loosen Axle Bolts
(2) Slide wheel into front fork (See Figure 4).
With the steering fork facing forward (angling
away from bike), insert the wheel between the
fork blades so that it firmly touches the inside
of the fork ends. Make sure that the washers
are next to the nut. There is a matching hole
on the fork for the washer to hook into.
The wheel should be put in so that the tread
direction is forward (usually on the sidewall
there’s an arrow pointing which way the tire
rolls).
