BOX CONTENTS Please check contents of box carefully. If there are any parts missing please contact 03300 904 404 in the first instance where they will be able to assist you with replacements. Below is a list of parts you should have.
TOOLS NEEDED 1.- FITTING THE HANDLEBAR A Insert the handlebar into the frame. If necessary loosen the stem bolt at the top of the handlebars and stem to allow the wedge nut to move freely. Make sure the minimum insertion mark is not visible once this is fitted. The handlebar must be inserted beyond this point. HANDLEBAR MINIMUM INSERTION MARK B SPANNER The handlebar must be straight. Align this with the fork by looking downwards at it. The brakes must be facing the front of the bike.
TOOLS NEEDED 2.- FITTING THE SADDLE A Insert saddle into frame. Make sure the minumum insertion mark is not visible once this is fitted. The saddle must be inserted beyond this point SADDLE B SPANNER Using the spanner provided, lock the seat in position by turning bolt in a clockwise direction. Do not fully tighten until the end as you may need to adjust the height.
TOOLS NEEDED 3.- FITTING THE FRONT WHEEL A You will need to release your caliper brakes to install or replace a wheel, slightly loosen the cable pinch bolt. Turn it anti-clockwise with the spanner provided as shown. This will open up the break pads so the wheel fits through. B Turn the bike upside down. Loosen the nuts on the front wheel axle by turning anti-clockwise - you need enough thread showing on the axle so the wheel slots easily onto the fork.
C Locking washers must be positioned correctly in this step: THE PIN ON THE LOCKING WASHER MUST BE PLACED IN THE HOLE. Place the pointed side of the locking washer into the hole on the fork. Make sure the gap between the wheel and the fork is equal on both sides. Tighten the nut with the spanner provided. D Once the wheel is in place and tight, turn the bike the right way up and squeeze the brake arms together until there is a 1 - 1.5 mm gap betwen the brake pads and the rim.
.1 .2 When assembling the bike make sure the forks arepositioned the correct way. The front brake needs to be facing forward away from the bike (see picture .2 above). Finally make sure the brake cable is not twisted or tangled as this will affect the braking performance.
TOOLS NEEDED 4.- FITTING THE STABILISERS SPANNER i Remove the outer nut and washer from each side of the back wheel by turning anti-clockwise using the spanner provided ii Place the bracket over the thread ensuring the tabs lock in the dropout, followed by the stabiliser, the washer and the nut. iii Tighten the nut by turning clockwise until it is finger tight. Repeat for the other side.
TOOLS NEEDED 5.- FITTING THE PEDALS SPANNER To fit the pedals correctly, you must position them the correct way around and screw them on in the right direction: i Stickers indicate the left and right pedal. If these have dropped off, look at the end of the thread where it is imprinted. ii The correct pedal needs to be attached to the matching side of the bike i.e. left pedal to left side and right pedal to right side.
TOOLS NEEDED 6.- FITTING THE REFLECTORS A First fully release the securing screws as shown (anti-clockwise) B ALLEN KEY Wrap the white reflector around the handlebar near the centre, and wrap the red reflector in the same way around the saddle post.
TOOLS NEEDED 7.- FINAL CHECKS SPANNER A You can now ensure your saddle and handlebars are at a comfortable riding position, and fully tighten. Always be aware of the minimum insertion mark and make sure these are inserted beyond this point. B Check tyre pressures regularly. Recommended tyre pressures are clearly marked on the side of the tyre. C Check that all bolts and fixings are tight and secure. You should do this before every ride.
