ASCENT BIKE

» MOVING YOUR BIKE 

Stand in front the bike, grasp the handlebars and tip the bike toward you until 
the transport wheels are touching the floor. Roll the bike to the desired location 
and then gently lower the rear of the bike back to the floor. 

» LEVELING YOUR BIKE

If you place your bike on an uneven surface, you may adjust how the bike sits 
by adjusting one or all of the four levelers located on the bottom of each corner 
of the bike.

» ADJUSTING AND LEVELING YOUR SADDLE

If you experience saddle discomfort while riding or sitting on your bike, the 
angle can be adjusted by loosening the 14 mm nuts located under the saddle. 
After making your adjustment, be sure to retighten the nuts before riding  
your bike.

» PREVENTING RUST

After each use, raise handlebar and seat posts to the highest settings to  
expose moisture. Using an absorbent cloth, focus on all areas where perspiration 
can settle.

» PROTECTING YOUR BIKE’S FINISH

After each ride, protect your bike’s finish by wiping it down with a damp cloth. 
You may use bike cleaner such as SPINTECH® Fitness Equipment Polish, but do 
not use de-greasers. When cleaning your bike, be sure to keep your hands and 
fingers clear of a moving drivetrain.

» PEDALS

Check pedals weekly to ensure that the threads are tightened. If the pedals 
have become loose, tighten threads with the wrench supplied to ensure they 
are securely attached.

» WATER BOTTLE CAGES

Forcing oversized bottles into water bottle cages can damage cages. Checking 
and tightening the screws will help prevent damage.
