MTB Quicklock, am I missing some pieces?
Discussion
Hi all,
Took the front wheel off, my 2018 Voodoo Canzo and cannot for the life of me figure out how to put the quick lock back together. I've had a quick nose online and in the owners manual but can't find anything.
It seems that when I put the wheel back on and put the spindle through the wheel to secure it, I can tighten the quicklock nut and the spindle is still able to be pulled back out. Have attached some pictures, can anyone tell if I'm missing pieces? I'm new to this so don't be too hard on my stupidity

Well.. you've taken that apart more than you are supposed to
Can't help on reassembly, but this is how it should operate

The plastic tube is a critical part and is required to take up the distance between end of the tube and the spring which in turn puts pressure on the plastic castle section fitted to the female split cone.
You could actually have a longer spring instead of the plastic tube but the plastic is probably cheaper and weighs less than a full length spring.
The spring basically puts load onto the female split cone and forces it against the male plastic cone in the thumb wheel and causes it to split open and creates a larger diameter than the hole in the axle enabling the Qloc axel to be locked in place.
ps
It did take me a few hours to get my head around the mechanics of this.
And I still need to know the dimensions of the plastic tube.
Hope this helps
