WHEEL AND AXLE
The wheel is secured to the bicycle with a "thru axle" wheel mounting system.
The thru axle portion is a threaded axle that inserts through the hub and fork/
frame dropouts, and is clamped securely at the fork/frame dropouts. Your
bicycle may have two different axles for the front and rear wheels. Consult your
retailer to understand which type of wheel mounting system(s) you have, how to
properly use each system, and which tools may be required.
Do not ride your bicycle with an improperly secured wheel
or axle. This can allow the wheel to move or disengage from
the bicycle, and can cause you to crash, which may result in
serious injury and/or death. Consult your axle manufacturer's
instructions for the proper installation procedure.
The incorrect installation or placement of an axle lever could
cause the lever to get caught in the rotor of the disc brake or
interfere with the frame or other components, which can cause
you to crash and may result in serious injury and/or death.
INSTALL THE COLLET THRU AXLE
Santa Cruz Bicycles manufactures one style of axle, the collet
thru axle. However, our bicycles come with various brands and
models of axles like the ones listed on the next page. You may
have a different style of axle included on your bicycle. Consult
your dealer for help with identifying which axle types are on your
bicycle. Axle technologies change rapidly, so refer to your axle
manufacturer's instructions for the most current wheel and axle
installation procedure. The instructions below only apply to the
collet thru axle.
1. Position the chain on the outermost cog.
2. Install the rear wheel into the rear dropouts.
3. Insert the axle through the dropouts and hub from the non-drive side.
4. Insert a 5 mm hex wrench into the drive side rear dropout and turn the axle
counter-clockwise to 9 Nm (80 in-lb) torque.
5. Use a 5 mm hex wrench to turn the axle bolt on the non-drive side dropout
clockwise to 12.4 Nm (110 in-lb) torque.
REMOVE THE COLLET THRU AXLE

2. Use a 5 mm hex wrench to turn the axle bolt on the non-drive side counter-
clockwise two turns.
3. Use a 5 mm hex wrench, inserted into the drive side rear dropout to turn the
