Adjustment of quick release axle length

Important to make sure it is correctly adjusted!

Adjustment of quick release axle length
  1. The quick-release axle has two flat surfaces at its inner end.
  2. Apply the 11 mm spanner to the inner axle end to prevent the axle from turning.
  3. By using the 19 mm spanner you can adjust the big nut at the outer end of the axle.
  4. To increase the axle length: Unscrew the nut - anti-clockwise.
  5. To decrease the axle length: Screw the nut clockwise.
  6. Adjust the nut a ½ turn at a time, and then check the assembly.
  7. Confirm that the axle locks in place properly (black push-button ejected), and that there is no sideways play between the wheel and the frame.

  • Technique for folding and holding…

    I have to go through three tight doors to come into my apartment. To keep the Veloped folded, I am holding it together with a small bungee cord. Is there a better idea?

    I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012 and my balance and mobility are now at the stage where I feel much safer walking with a rollator. I have a fleet of them! One for airport use (really), one for city sidewalk use and now 2 for outdoor use. I…
