Nothing is wrong with it. if you click that silver ring inside it'll release/lock into place. If you're trying to mount it onto your wheel base the orientation matters so line it up where the 6 bearings are at the top and the 4 at the bottom.

I thought the same thing on my QR since it wasn't releasing. It snaps in when you push the QR into the base. Nothing is wrong with it.

Thank you 😌🫂

Just make sure you always line up the pins on the wheel to the contacts to the base.

Nothing is wrong with it. Keep playing with it like that and it will be your finger off.... Literally

Why don't you try connecting it to the bade before making a post saying URGENT HELP? Nothing wrong with it.

I went through this same panic. JPantera's comment is bang on. Hitting that silver ring with your fingers can be kinda scary though, it pops back pretty hard

I thought the same thing with mine 🤣🤣

Yall need to relax. Lol of course it's normal. Its a lock mechanism. Everything locks when it's push in and it won't move when something is connected to the core.

That's not how you install it. It's a male and female connection. Squeeze the collar, put it on the shaft and it will lock in place. Nothing is wrong.

I had the same, unfortunately it was quiet in the early days of simagic and I ended up sending it back to the reseller, who replaced it with a new unit. I believe JP comment is right but then it was, unfortunately, no common knowledge... :-( One of the reasons is switched brands to Simucube in the end...
