Just got a secondhand one today, and have sussed out how to fold it, and how to get the back wheels off, but it looks like the front one comes off as well? Is this right, and also does the footrest come off as well??

Also what are the two pully things by the back of the seat for?

I think that we used to have to pull something release it. Sort of a grey lever thing? Sorry, can picture it but can't explain!! We had to take wheel off to fit in car boot so I should be able to do it in my sleep.

Look at picture 5 in those instructions. Look where her fingers are and the grey quick release thing should be about there!! Flick it towards you

(sounds more like a dodgy sex manual doesn't it!!!)

I will have to have another look at it - I found the grey levers for the back wheels and thought they may have been one for the front - it is the swivel wheel one, whether that makes a difference? We need to get it as flat as we can to fit it in the car boot or our hols at the end of July - we have a Scenic so big boot, but need to take loads of stuff!!

Mine was swivel and it def had it's own lever!

it's like a bike quick release, if it's like my jane powertwin (does it have a front brake?)

There should be a lever in the centre of the wheel, you flip it away from the wheel and then unscrew and keep going until wheel drops out of frame.

The foot rest should also be able to be released and flipped flat, but I don't think I ever did that - just remember it happening by accident once.....

Ic 4a shows the lever you need to flick up and then turn to unolt. I think there is a screw that goes through the fork through the wheel centre so when you pull it out the wheel should come off like in picture 6. Does that make sense? I think the pully things if they are the ones on pic 23 are to put the carseat adaptors in for attaching carseat. Hope that is more help and you're bit less frazzled

andyrobo237 · 02/07/2008 20:22

Just had a good look - there is an extra nut which is stopping the front wheel coming off - so got the spanner on that - and it was ok!

Also found a lever under the footrest that allowed me to move that - happy days!

Thanks for all the help!!
