2. Removing and installing the rear wheel of the seven-speed Afterburner
a. Removing the rear wheel of the seven-speed Afterburner
(1) Using the correct size wrench, loosen the two axle nuts.
(2) Shift the derailleur to the highest gear/smallest cog.
(3) Push the rear wheel forward until it clears the frame and slide it free of the chain. It may help to rotate the derailleur rearward and
up slightly for clearance.
b. Installing the rear wheel of the seven-speed Afterburner
(1) With the shifter in the highest gear setting, place the chain on the smallest sprocket and slide it up into the frame. It may help to
rotate the derailleur rearward and up slightly for clearance.
(2) Pull the wheel rearward and tighten the axle nuts. Remember to keep the wheel centered in the frame.
B. Tires and Tubes
1. Tires
The Afterburner tire is your passenger’s primary suspension system. For your passenger’s comfort and confidence, make sure the Afterburner
tire is inflated to 30–35 psi. The Afterburner’s tire is made specifically for the Afterburner, for use on smooth surfaces. The size is marked on the
sidewall of the tire. Use this information to purchase replacement tires.
WARNING: Never inflate your Afterburner tire beyond 35 psi.
The best and safest way to inflate a bicycle tire to the correct pressure is with a bicycle pump that has a built-in pressure gauge.
WARNING: Do not use gas station air hoses or other air compressors to fill the Afterburner’s tire. Air hoses and compressors are not
made for bicycle tires. They move a large volume of air very rapidly, and will raise the pressure in your tire very rapidly, which could
cause the tube to explode.
2. Tire Valves
There are primarily two kinds of bicycle tube valves: the Schrader valve and the Presta valve. The Afterburner uses a Schrader valve similar to an
automobile tire valve. The bicycle pump you use must have the fitting appropriate to the valve stem on your Afterburner tire.
