Mtb Bicycle

When I turn the lever to tighten Wheen I can not close the lever, if I let him free, then it closes. It is on two wheels, is this normal? I do not want to ask my local bike shop, it charges for the information!

Yes, the quick release must be losing weight before tightening the lever down! Do the tight spin and then try to block it. The point is that the clamping wedges in place. Releasing the clip makes him lose without removing the wheel spin. The grip should be firm but not super hard, you can break the thing tightening too hard.

As M. says, is how quick release levers should work.

I want to tighten the nut so that the lever engages and you feel a little commitment when about one third closed. You need to put some force on the lever to close the rest of the track. You do not want to put so much force that you hurt your hand or risk breaking the lever.

After closing the lever, make sure the wheel is correctly aligned in the legs. Otherwise, release the lever and try again.

Hope this helps.

Here is a PDF document you can print and keep for reference until you get to use your quick release.

If your local bike shop charges for information vital to your safety, you must find another bike shop. Even a member of Congress is not greedy.
