ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.. Pedals

Note:  

All bicycle pedals have a designated left and right. Your pedals are marked as such on the pedal itself. 

Left and right orientation on the bike is determined as the position you would be in while riding the 

bike.  It is important that you attach each pedal to the corresponding crank, as the threads on the left 

pedal and crank are reversed.  Left pedals are always reverse-threaded so that the pedal tightens rather 

than loosens while you are pedaling the bike. 

CAUTION:  Attempting to install the pedals on the incorrect side will cause damage to both 
the pedal and the crank.

Attaching the Pedals to the Crank Arms

1.  Before attaching the pedals to the cranks apply 

multipurpose grease to the threads of each pedal.  

Pedals that are not sufficiently lubricated will often 

make a squeaking or clicking noise with every pedal 

rotation which can become an annoyance.

2.  Attach the left pedal (marked L) to the left crank.  

Tighten with the pedal wrench in a COUNTER-

CLOCKWISE direction.

3.  Attach the right pedal (marked R) to the right crank.  

Tighten with the pedal wrench in a CLOCKWISE direction.

The cranks of the 

g•force RT

 have 9/16-20 threads, making the bike compatible with all standard pedal 

systems, including the LeMond® Dual-sided Indoor Cycling Pedal.

3.. Cup Holders

1.  Place one cup holder in each bend of the handlebars.  The cup holders are marked as left (L) or 

right (R) on the underside of the holder.

2.  Attach the cup holders with (4) M6x15 screws and tighten with the 4mm hex wrench.

3. Leveling the g•force RT

Now that the bike is fully assembled, carefully lift the rear end, and roll the bike to its final location.

Check the stability of the bike by attempting to rock it from side to side.  If the bike rocks or wobbles, it 

should be leveled.  A bike that is leveled correctly will provide a more stable and comfortable ride. 

The two feet of the rear stabilizer can be adjusted to compensate for uneven floors.  To level the bike, 

simply raise or lower the two leveling feet by screwing them in or out as needed.
