Assembly Instructions

1. FRONT WHEEL Required tools – 15mm wrench or adjustable wrench

Position the fork so that it is facing forward as in the picture below. Remove the outside 15mm nut and safety washer
from each side of the axle. Slide wheel axle into the slots at the bottom of the fork. Place a safety washer on each side of
the axle. The smaller end of the washer should be facing the fork. Ensure that the narrow portion of the safety washer is
seated fully into the rounded portion of the fork dropout. Carefully thread on a 15mm nut to each end and tighten with a
wrench.

2. FRONT FENDER Required tools - two 10mm wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

Find the fender mounting bolt through the top of the fork. Remove the nut and washer. Attach the fender with the
mounting bolt through the fender bracket. Replace washer and carefully rethread the nut. Adjust fender so that it is not
rubbing on the tire as the wheel is turned. Tighten the bolt and nut.
