This guide explains how to assemble a rear wheel with an AUTOMATiQ hub interface and solid axle hub onto a 135mm bike frame.
Backward compatibility
This guide is compatible with legacy enviolo and NuVinci 135mm solid axle hubs.
Exercise caution when assembling the no-turn washers
Improper installation of the no-turn washers 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)
Assembly instructions
- Place the rear wheel into the frame.
- Make sure not to obstruct or pinch the wire harness and main connector.
- Orient the chain around the AUTOMATiQ hub interface and onto the sprocket.
- In some cases, it is easiest to remove the chain from the front chainring to ease rear wheel assembly.
- Locate the rear wheel speed sensor boss on the AUTOMATiQ Hub Interface.
- The chain should not catch on this sensor when fitting the wheel.
- Slide one non-turn washer (A) each onto each axle end.
- The serrations of the non-turn washer must bear against the dropout of the frame.
- The rectangular boss must engage in the dropout of the frame.
- Mount the axle nuts (B) and tighten to 30-40Nm.
- 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:
