GETTING STARTED

Open the carton from the top and carfully remove the bicycle. Now remove all ties and protective wrapping making note of parts as you go along. Do not discard packing material until assembly is complete to ensure no required parts are accidentally discarded.

HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY

Remove all protective packaging from the handlebar assembly, if not already done. Turn the fork of the bicycle to face forward. (Note that "forward" means that the wheel mounting slots are in the furthest forward position, so the wheel axle will be in front of the fork when assembled.) Look for removable decal and information card on the fork

showing the proper direction.

If your model comes equipped with gears and/or handbrakes, you will need to be sure that the brake cables and shift cables are properly routed. Position the handlebar assembly as if you were going to install it and take a look at the cables. They should run in a smooth arc from the shifter or brake lever to the front brakes or cable stop on the frame. If they are twisted or kinked, the shifting and braking will not work. Rotate

the handlebars around until the cables are taking the smoothest route.

(D)

Loosen the center bolt steer tube. Lower the stem until the mark that says "minimum insertion" is no longer visible. Tighten the stem center bolt so that the handlebar assembly is in line with the fork. If needed, you can recheck this after the front wheel is installed and re-adjust.

Check handlebar stem clamp bolt handlebar cannot move. The angle of the handlebar can be adjusted. To adjust: loosen all of the handlebar stem clamping bolts and rotate the handlebar to the desired angle. Be sure that the handlebar stays centered in the stem. Re-tighten the bolts a little at a time Repeat tightening each bolt a little bit until handlebar is secure.

1. Locate the quick release skewer attached to the spokes of your front wheel (see image GETTING STARTED). Some tire tread patterns have a direction, so compare the front and rear tires of the bicycle so that both tread patterns face the same way.

2. Unscrew the lock nut from the quick release skewer and slide the skewer through the hollow axle on the front wheel so that the handle is on the left side of the bicycle (the side opposite the chain).

but do not tighten too far.

4. Release the front brakes by pinching the upper area of the brake arms together

(F) of the cable housing free from the assembly (G) with the other hand. Brakes

will be spread wide to accommodate the wheel.

5. Slide the wheel into the fork wheel slots and be sure that the wheel is centered.

6. Inspect the handle of the skewer position. Move the handle so that it is in the "open" position. Start to hand tighten the lock nut (H) until you begin to feel some resistance with the fork.

7. Try to close the handle. If it closes to easily, open it up and tighten the lock nut

again.

(I), note that there is an "open" and "closed"

(H), remove the outer spring

8. The quick release handle Practice opening and closing the handle until you feel comfortable. DO NOT attempt to tighten skewer by turning the handle; the handle is for closing, the lock nut is for adjusting the tension.

9·. Reverse step 4 to re-attach the brakes.

Once completed, go back and check that the handlebars are perpendicular to the front wheel, if needed return to the handlebar assembly section and re-adjust.

All quick release levers should be inspected before every ride to be sure they are fully closesd and secure. Failure to properly close a quick release lever can cause loss of control of the bicycl resulting in injury or death.

Make sure the wheel is properly seated and the quick release is properly closed.

NUTTED FRONT WHEEL

(for models without quick release front wheel)

1. If the Axle Nuts (J) are already attached to the front

wheel axle, begin by removing them with an open end wrench or adjustable wrench.

2. Set the wheel into the front fork

3. Install wheel retainer washers are in the fork

4. Attach the front wheel with the Axle Nuts

5. Tighten Axle Nuts with 15mm wrench provided.

NOTE: Ensure wheel spins freely without contacting

WARNING: Do not use Nuts (G) without serrations to attach the front wheel.

WARNING: Put the wheel in the center of the fork and tighten

both nuts to the recommended torque.

WARNING: Failure to obey these steps can allow the front wheel to loosen

while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.

SADDLE ASSEMBLY

The saddle assembly should be adjusted with the saddle centered on the rails and level. Insert the saddle assembly into the frame.

Adjust seat to desired height saddle may not turn left or right, or move up or down. If it moves after locking the quick release lever, open it and tighten the adjusting nut further, then close the quick release lever again.

Be sure that the seat post is inserted far enough into the frame so that the "minimum insertion" mark on the seat post is no longer visible. Riding the bicycle with the seat post above this line is dangerous and can cause serious injury, damage to the bicycle and/or create an unstable riding position causing an accident.

Before each ride check to be sure the seat post is inserted so that the minimum insertion mark cannot be seen. The quick release mechanism is tightened securely to prevent accidental slippage.
