It's not that complicated to set up really 'cat!

1. Loosen the grub screws so the fork will open easily.

2. Offer the fork up to the special QR skewer ends fitting it on one end (the part of the fork with the grub screw should be away from the bike).

3. Squeeze the fork closed so the other end is against the frame.

4. Tighten the grub screws.

5. Pull the fork open and onto both ends of the skewer, job done!

Regarding tyre pressures, I keep the extra wheel at about 95psi.
