FRAME JOINT QUICK-RELEASE ADJUSTMENT

The tension adjustment bolt on the frame joint quick-release mechanism, hereafter referred to as QR & QR-Adjustment Bolt can come out of adjustment when left in the open position, such as when transporting the bike in the folded position. 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.
