This guide explains how to properly assemble the rear wheel for bicycles with the AUTOMATiQ hub interface with 148mm modular axle hubs - Heavy Duty and Extreme.
Backward compatibility
This guide is compatible with legacy enviolo and NuVinci 148mm modular axle hubs.
Exercise caution when assembling
Improper installation may result in damage to the dropout and the hub. Over-tightening may damage parts. Under-tightening can result in the axle sliding in the dropouts.

Tools
- 15mm wrench
- Torque wrench
- 15mm long socket
- 17mm long socket (only for Extreme hub)
- Allen key 5mm
Assembly instructions
- Place the disc brake rotor on the hub.
- 148mm variants require an extra adapter to be placed under the rotor and need to be tightened with the longer bolts supplied with the kit.
- Tighten the rotor bolts as specified by the brake rotor manufacturer.
- For rim and roller brake applications, connect the rear brake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 148mm variants require an extra adapter to be placed under the rotor and need to be tightened with the longer bolts supplied with the kit.
- Place the torque arm onto the axle and orientate it in an angle that it slides into the boss on the brake adapter or dropout.
- The cable housing should be able to enter the hub interface in a straight line.
- Place the rear wheel in the frame with the torque adapter sliding into the slot in the dropout or disc adapter.
- Install the left and right side adapters securing the axle with the M6 bolts to 10-15Nm.
- On the right side, ensure the spring washer is positioned between the hub interface and the adapter.
- Finally, assemble the power cable carefully by inserting it into the AUTOMATiQ hub interface (C).
Proceed to the next guide
If you successfully followed the steps above, then the wheel is on the bicycle with an AUTOMATiQ hub interface.
For the next step, if you installed a new AUTOMATiQ, then first you will need to upload a configuration. If so, proceed to this guide:
If you just reinstalled the same AUTOMATiQ on the same bicycle, then chances are it already has a configuration. In that case, proceed directly to calibrating:
