Thank you for choosing the Positz Anti-Theft Front Wheel Bicycle Skewer to protect your front wheel from theft. This installation guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to properly install the Positz Anti-Theft Skewer for enhanced security. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Preparing for Installation

  1. Ensure you have the Positz Anti-Theft Front Wheel Bicycle Skewer, which includes the skewer, lock nut, and any necessary hardware.
  2. Familiarize yourself with the components of the Anti-Theft Skewer.

Step 2: Removing Existing Front Wheel Skewer

  1. Start by removing the existing front wheel skewer from your bicycle.
  2. Unscrew the quick-release lever or appropriate mechanism to release the tension on the current skewer.
  3. Remove the skewer from the front wheel hub, taking note of its orientation.

Step 3: Installing Positz Anti-Theft Front Wheel Skewer

  1. Begin by inserting the Positz Anti-Theft Skewer into the front wheel hub, ensuring it aligns with the dropout openings.
  2. Thread the skewer through the hub until the threaded end protrudes from the opposite side.
  3. Place the lock nut onto the threaded end of the skewer, ensuring it is threaded correctly and engages with the skewer threads.
  4. Tighten the lock nut securely using your hand, making sure it is snug against the front wheel dropout.

Step 4: Adjusting Skewer Tension

  1. Once the Positz Anti-Theft Skewer is installed, adjust the tension to securely hold the front wheel in place.
  2. Hold the skewer’s lever or adjustment mechanism and rotate it clockwise to tighten the skewer.
  3. Ensure the skewer is tightened enough to firmly secure the front wheel, but be cautious not to overtighten, which may damage the hub or frame.

Step 5: Testing the Anti-Theft Function

  1. Once the Positz Anti-Theft Front Wheel Skewer is properly installed, test its anti-theft function.
  2. Ensure the skewer’s lever or adjustment mechanism is in the locked position.
  3. Attempt to remove the front wheel by unscrewing the skewer or pulling it out. The skewer should resist removal, providing an additional layer of security against theft.

Step 6: Post-Installation Check

  1. After installation, check that the front wheel is securely attached and properly aligned in the fork dropouts.
  2. Confirm that the Positz Anti-Theft Skewer is tightly secured and prevents unauthorized removal of the front wheel.
  3. Periodically inspect the skewer and lock nut for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any worn components to maintain optimal security.
