3. TRAINING WHEELS
Required tool – 15mm or adjustable wrench
Remove the outside nut and washer on both sides of the rear axle. Do not loosen or adjust the inner nuts on the axle
(these are for tension adjustment). Insert the training wheel bracket into the stabilizer bracket, lining up the holes.
Attach stabilizer and training wheel brackets on the axle as shown. Secure with nut and washer, tighten.
4. HANDLEBAR AND STEM
Required tool – 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench
If there is a protective plastic cap on the end of the stem, remove it before inserting into the head tube. Insert the
handlebar stem into the head tube. You may need to loosen the stem bolt slightly.
Make sure to insert the stem past the “minimum insertion line” and then adjust to the desired height. Before tightening, align the
stem and handlebar with the front wheel.
Tighten the stem bolt firmly. To check the tightness, brace the front wheel between your knees, then try to turn the handlebar
left and right. The stem should not move.
The handlebar should be aligned square to the tire, if not, slightly loosen the stem bolt, adjust square and retighten.
REMEMBER,
the handlebar stem may be raised or lowered for comfort, but it should never be raised above the
“minimum insertion line” marked on the stem.
