Skewer Installation Instructions

2. Insert your new View-Speed Inc. skewer.
3. Loctite has been applied to the skewer threads … ready to install.
4. Tighten skewer then loosen skewer so you know it will come off easily if you flat … retighten to 4 or 5 NM … good for several on and off cycles without more Loctite.
5. The keyed part of the nut faces in the open slot of the fork slot or dropout dropout opening.
6. Insure your bicycle wheel is aligned properly and tighten skewer with a 5mm hex key and torque wrench to not exceed 6 NM. Usually 4 or 5 NM is adequate.
7. Check that the skewer threads are fully engaged in the nut so the skewer is either showing 1 thread or the end of the skewer bolt is flush with the outer surface of the nut after cutting off excess skewer.
8. Check that your wheel is secure. (It should not have any play)
The S4 skewer requires ¼ inch (6.35mm) or greater fork or dropout thickness. The S3 skewer fits most forks. You may cut off the excess threaded portion of the skewer flush with the nut keeping in mind that the skewer many not fit another bicycle with a different fork.
9. Before a race be sure to loosen your skewer and re-secure it to be sure you can operate it easily and quickly.
