First use / Assembly Handlebar adjustment Saddle/Seat Post adjustment If you have received your beixo through a 3rd party and not a bicycle specialist, you will find a detailed description of how to prepare your bike below. Adding some grease on some bicycle parts before mounting is advisable. There are two kinds of handlebars used by beixo: the normal one and the so called A-head. For the normal handlebar/ stem: loosen the stem with a 6 mm Allen key.
Horizontal saddle position The horizontal position of the saddle will determine how your body is balanced which will also dictate how comfortable and effective you are on the bike. One way of positioning the saddle is to check this distance by putting your elbow on the nose of the saddle and your fingertips on the handlebars – they should just touch. Of course this differs in certain frames/arm lengths. Saddle tilt The saddle tilt is also important.

Turn round the pedals for about three minutes in order to clean the gears. 3. Put the bike back on it’s wheels carefully and let the fluid pour out in the reservoir.
Take apart the rear wheel Checklist: 1. Turn the bike upside down so the wheels are upward and the handlebars are resting on the ground. • Do the brakes work as they should? Are the brake blocks and bolts secure? Are the cables intact? 2. Release the lock nuts holding the back wheel onto the fork of the bike frame. Use a 15 mm wrench and work slowly to avoid damaging the thread of the nut. Pay good attention to the order of the washers. These need to be in the exact order when placing back the wheel.
