wheelchair once it is dismantled and also permits an easy inspection of the wheels or the mounting of new tires The system consists of a rod that is calledskewer skewer that passes through the wheel axle and a camlever that grips the wheels to hold them in their place The systems can be operated by pressing on the lever with your fingers There are two primary types of quickrelease axles the standard and a larger diameter one that is threaded into the frame and is known as a throughaxle Make sure to adjust the skewer and cam prior to using a quick release The narrow end of the springs should rest against the axle ends and when you tighten the skewer it must fit in the recess in the inner side of the cam or the adjusting nut Otherwise it will be bent You can test this by spinning the spring with the adjusting nuts off and looking for a wedge shaped gap between the wide end of the skewer and the inside faces of the axle locknuts To get the best tension you may have to open the lever and close it using some effort The lever should leave an impression on the palm of your hand and be tight enough to hold the wheel firmly A few cheap quickreleases include plastic parts in the mechanism which decreases the force needed to hold the wheel in place The skewers you purchase at a bargain price could be made of inferior quality steel which could make them more prone to rust The lever should be set so that it is flush with the frame and has a curving shape that prevents it from snagging on anything A lever that protrudes indicates that it isnt fully closed even though it could appear to be holding the wheels A lever that protrudes can become loose if it is knocked against something To prevent this from happening you must ensure that the lever is secured and shut
