To remedy this, replace the original QR Adjustment Bolt with our updated version, p/n 881011, which includes applied Loctite on the threads to prevent accidental rotation of the QR-Adjustment Bolt. Any rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise, will affect the QR tension. The rider should check the QR tension on the frame joint and inspect the frame for any signs of cracking before each ride. Failure to maintain adequate QR tension at the the frame joint can damage the frame and QR mechanism. &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;MODELS &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;&#xA0;MODEL(S):&#xA0; Sun Bicycles - Shortcut Folding Bikes<ul><li>P/N 670295 - Shortcut 1 - Satin Black</li><li>P/N 670296 - Shortcut 3 - Blue Pearl</li><li>P/N 670297 - Shortcut 7 - Slate</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/w3vx/hc/vm5v/670295-7c97851d-c11b-4a38-aef6-0b4d4060f4de.png" style="width: 667px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/w3vx/hc/vm5v/670296-0932b603-17c2-4580-93e8-c53897e91628.png" style="width: 692px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/w3vx/hc/vm5v/670297-fb7b84ac-e21b-47d3-8a8d-31b920613dd7.png" style="width: 692px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;ACTION REQUIRED &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;Replace the original bolt with the new version, which has pre-applied Loctite. &#xA0;Contact your local Sun retailer to arrange this quick and easy replacement. &#xA0;1. &#xA0;Remove the original Quick-Release Lever Tension Adjustment Bolts2. &#xA0;Replace the original bolt with the updated Quick-Release Lever Tension Adjustment Bolt, which has applied Loctite on the threads. &#xA0;IF ASSEMBLING A NEW BIKE, CHECK THE BIKE CARTON FOR A NEW HARDWARE PACKET THAT CONTAINS THE NEW BOLT.<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/w3vx/hc/vm5v/img_4449-ef4b460f-7c1b-42d5-a9a2-7343e242ac3c.jpeg" style="width: 563px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/w3vx/hc/vm5v/img_4447-e62a5dbd-f81f-4f68-bfdb-4208a5c61d4c.jpeg" style="width: 564px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;P/N 881011 - Folding Frame Quick-Release Lever Tension Adjustment Bolt with applied Loctite. &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;CONTACT &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;&#xA0;For questions about this matter, please contact your local Sun Bicycles retailer. &#xA0;Click&#xA0;<a class="fr-strong fr-green" href="https://sun.bike/pages/store-locator">HERE</a>&#xA0;to locate a Sun Bicycles retailer in your area.
