3.4.5 Wheel installation on a fork with QR15 quick release axle
44
The QR15 wheel axle system allows assembling and disassembling
the front wheel in the fork in an extremely quick way and without
the use of tools.
The wheel locking procedure is as simple as the QR for standard
wheels with a 9mm axle.
For optimum fork performance, please follow the instructions below
when installing the wheel:
•
Place the wheel in between each fork.
•
Align the centre of the wheel between the two wheel axle clamps
(see 6A of Picture 6).
•
Introduce the axle through the right wheel axle clamp.
•
Pass through the hole in the centre of the hub until it stops
against the tightening nut of the axle that is installed in the left
wheel axle clamp.
•
By keeping the locking lever in parallel direction to the axis, screw
the axle in the nut or the nut in the axle (see 6B of Picture 6)
without distinction. During the screwing operation, do not use the
axle locking lever to increase the tightening torque.
•
By means of the check lever installed in the end of the axle,
lock the lever (see 6C of Picture 6); this way, the wheel will be
correctly fastened to the fork.
•
Check that the release lever is in a position that assures the
correct fastening of the axle, and that it is in a position that it is not
subject to collisions during the use (see 6C of Picture 6).
•
Check for the proper fork-wheel alignment. To do this, begin by
fully compressing the fork a few times. The wheel should not
make contact with, or come close to any portion of the fork. Then
lift the front of the bicycle and spin the wheel a few times to verify
the correct alignment with the disk brake. The wheel should not
wobble from side to side or up and down. Check the owner's
manual of the brake system for the proper specifi cations.

3.5 Fender installation
The fender may be provided with the fork, or purchased
separately.
To install the fender, fi rst insert the support bushing between the screw
and fender (see 7A of Picture 7). Tighten the screw to the required
torque (6±1 Nm) using a 8mm spanner (see 7B of Picture 7).

ARNING
When the fender is assembled on a 888 fork, the position of
the superior part of the crown must be in corrispondence to
max line on the stanchion.

3.6 Handlebar clamp installing on all Dual Crown models
To install the handlebar clamp, please carefully follow the
instructions below:
•
Place the lower mounting segment of the handlebar clamp on the
upper crown of the fork (see 8A & 8B of Picture 8).
•
Align the corresponding holes from each of these components.
•
Secure the lower mounting segment of the handlebar clamp
to the upper crown of the fork by tightening the screws to the
required torque (6±1 Nm) using a 4mm Allen key (see 8C of
Picture 8).
•
Place the handlebar into the lower mounting segment of the
handlebar clamp, being sure that it is centered (see 8D of
Picture 8).
•
Place each upper segment of the handlebar clamp over the
handlebar (see 8E of Picture 8).
•
Align the holes of the upper segment with the corresponding
holes of the lower mounting segment.
•
Secure the handlebar in place by tightening each screw to the
required torque (6±1 Nm) using a 4mm Allen key (see 8F of
Picture 8).
For installation of handlebars having different diameters, "reduction
sleeves" may be placed around the handlebar (between the
handlebar and each segment of the handlebar clamp) to ensure
the handlebar is held in place (see 8G of Picture 8).
