•not as straight forward as previous QRs due to both parts being M5 threaded
•M5 threads of one part need to be bypassed using captive screws
•through hole M5 threaded QRs (e.g. HRS Xero Play QR) bypass the QR part
•blind hole M5 threaded QRs (e.g. NRG/ Fanatec Podium Hub) use captive screws from
inside the wheel casing
1. remove Binder connector nut (rear side; required tool included)
2. open wheel rim by removing 7 x front plate bolts (2.5mm allen key)
3. screw in 5 x captive screws completely until threads do not intersect anymore
4. attach QR by turning each bolt ¼ turn in a circular pattern
5. attach front plate – make sure not to squeeze shifter/ clutch cables
