My 2001 Trek 5200 finally arrived, but I am having some trouble installing the front wheel (Rolf Vector Comp).
Is it supposed to come with a quick release mechanism adjusting nut? Because right now I just have the skewer (correct terminology?) sticking through the wheel with nothing to secure it on the other side. Am I missing something here (about how to install it) or did UPS lose my nut???? (there were a few holes in the box.... handle with care my @$$).
Another thing (yes, I am a newbie when it comes to setting up bikes). I am having some difficulty setting up the rear derailleur. Shimano's website doesn't have very useful documentation (this was the best I could find, but it only deals with the lever itself) about it. I tried putting the gear into the lowest (fewest teeth) one and then pulling the wire tightly and fastening it but this did not work: when I tried to upshift after this procedure the derailleur didn't even move.
