5. If the seat post clamp is not installed on the frame, install it at this time.
6. Take the seat and seat post and insert it into the frame.
7. Tighten the quick release to allow the cam actuation to lock the post into the frame so
that it cant twist easily.
7. Install pedals
1. Each pedal is marked with a sticker denoting left and right. The right side of the bike is
the side with the chain.
2. Take the right side pedal, add a small amount of grease to the threads, and thread it into
the crank
3. Do the same with the left pedal
4. Use a 15mm wrench to tighten each pedal
8. Install reflectors (US DOT safety standards recommends all bikes have
reflectors)
1. The white reflector is installed onto the fork. A bolt, nut and washers are included in the
parts box for its installation.
2. The red reflector clamps onto the upper section of the seat post approximately 1 inch
below the saddle if possible.
Part 2: Final Adjustment
1.
Handlebars
1.
We normally position the handlebar perpendicular to the ground on a mens bike, and
leaning a few degrees backward on a ladies bike. Use a 4mm Allen key on the front
cap of the stem, take care not to over tighten as this is billet aluminum.
2.
Sight through the stem to the front wheel and adjust the stem for straightness. Use a
6mm allen to tighten the two pinch bolts on the stem.
3.
Brake levers- using a 4mm allen, loosen and rotate the levers to a desired angle and
then tighten. 6 nm or 50 in pounds torque.
4.
If necessary, the grip shift can be loosened and rotated, and retightened. Do not over-
torque as it can break the plastic housing.
2.
Brake Calipers
1.
Thread the caliper bolts in, until the caliper movement is restricted, but still able to
move slightly.
2.
Sight through the brake, observing the space between the pads and the rotor. Your
goal is to rotate the caliper so that there is equal space between the pads and rotor on
both sides. We find using a brightly colored piece of paper on the floor helps us see
the light between the pad and rotor.
3.
Tighten the caliper fixing bolts slightly, ensuring that adjustment remains constant.
4.
Repeat tightening once you are sure the caliper is at the correct angle.
5.
It may be necessary to bend the caliper mount arm slightly to true up the angle the
caliper is at so the pads hit the rotor evenly.
6.
Repeat this process on the rear brake.
