is up. Attach the front wheel by loosening the wheel’s Quick Release (Q/R) lever
on the front wheel far enough to allow the axle to slide into the front fork. With
wheel’s Q/R lever in open position, hand tighten the cone nut until almost tight,
then flip wheel’s Q/R lever backward to the closed position to lock wheel in
place. Note this step may require minor adjustment until the Q/R lever flips back
with firm pressure. Pull outward on wheel to ensure it is locked in place.

levers, until the cogs of the brakes engage the cogs of the wheel. Repeat on other
side. To release brake, lift levers using your toe until cogs disengage.
