ABSTRACT:
A quick-release hub retention device includes a pair of protrusions respectively provided on the outward surface of the lower end portion of each front fork leg, and a pair of rigid clips each pivotally mounted on the axle and having a curved free end for hooking over the protrusion to mount the hub on the front fork. The axle is received in the open-ended slots in lower ends of a bicycle's front fork legs in a known manner. Each clip includes parallel upper and lower portions extending radially of the axle, and a middle portion bridging the upper and lower portions of the clip and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the axle. The bridging portions are of a length so that the upper and lower portions respectively abut on the opposite surfaces of the lower end portions of the front fork legs. The clips are incorporated with a main retaining device to prevent accidental separation of the wheel from the fork even if the main retaining device on the axle becomes loose.
