Hi All,

OK....not getting any warmer here in Montreal . Snow coming tomorrow. So
what else to do but think about my bike. As I do so....questions come to
mind. Here's the first:

When you are installing the rear wheel. What is the correct method.

1) slide the axle through and tighten the axle nut first and then the pinch
bolt

or

2) slide the axle through and tighten the pinch bolt and then the axle nut.

It seems to me that it makes more sense to use #1 because then you are sure
the axle is nice and snug with the wheel. I think the manual says the other
way though.

Regards...Ian
