Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices; Removing And Installing Wheels; Seat Post Cam Action Clamp - Arīv MELD Manual Del Usuario

2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place.
3. Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped. The clamping action of a correctly
secured wheel must emboss the surfaces of the dropouts.

1. Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices

Your ARĪV eBike has front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention device consisting of a molded edge to reduce the risk
of the wheel disengaging from the fork if the wheel is incorrectly secured.
WARNING: Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correctly securing your wheel. Failure to properly
secure the wheel can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage, which could cause you to lose control and fall,
resulting in serious injury or death.

2. Removing and Installing Wheels

CAUTION: Your bike is equipped with disk brakes, be careful not to damage the disk, caliper or brake pads when
re-inserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake's control lever unless the disk is correctly inserted
in the caliper. See also Section 4.C.
WARNING: If your bike has an internal gear rear hub, do not attempt to remove the wheel unless you fully
understand how to remove and replace it. Refer to our website for the service video on this component and if you
do not have the skills to perform this action please visit your local ARĪV eBike ASP or local bike shop for repair.
CAUTION: Exercise care in touching the rotor or caliper. Disc rotors have sharp edges, and both rotor and caliper
can get very hot during use.
a. Removing a disk brake Front Wheel
Your front wheel uses a hex key bolt which is threaded onto the front wheel hub. Unscrew the bolt using a hex key and once the
nut is loosened remove the bolt from the hub. Be sure to note where all parts are located.
b. Installing a disk brake Front Wheel
Tighten the fasteners to the torque specifications in Appendix D or the hub manufacturer's instructions.
Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze the brake lever and make
sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
c. Removing a disk brake Rear Wheel
ARĪV eBikes can have an internal gear rear hub or a single speed rear hub, do not attempt to remove the wheel unless you fully
understand how to remove and replace it. Both bikes utilize chain tensioners which place tension on the chain and center the rear
wheel in the dropouts. Be sure to loosen these tensioners the same amount on either side to allow the wheel to be removed from
the dropout.
d. Installing a disk brake Rear Wheel
(1) On the single speed, remove the chain from the front sprocket, so that you have plenty of slack in the chain. Put the chain on
the rear wheel sprocket.
(2) Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts and pull it all the way in to the dropouts.
(3) On a single speed or an internal gear hub, replace the chain on the chainring; pull the wheel back in the dropouts so that it is
straight in the frame and the chain has about 1/4 inches of up-and-down play.
(4) Tighten the chain tensioners and then tighten the wheel fasteners to the torque specifications in Appendix D or the hub
manufacturer's instructions.
(5) Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze the brake lever and make
sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
B. Seat post cam action clamp
ARĪV eBikes are equipped with a cam action seat post binder. While a cam action binder looks like a long bolt with a lever on
one end and a nut on the other, the binder uses an over-center cam action to firmly clamp the seat post (see fig. 8a).
