Welcome to the sixthreezero experience. Now for the fun

part... the assembly.

I know, I know, we’ve all had to assemble something we’ve

bought before - a tv stand, coffee table, possibly a grill or

even a bike a time or two before. It’s never fun, it never goes

well, you always lose a nut or a screw and by the time you’re

done, you’d rather destroy whatever it is you’ve bought

than actually use it. Well, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t

happen.

Assembly of a bike can be a fun, engaging, learning

experience. Call up a friend, ask your spouse or child, don’t

rush, and enjoy the process. Part of the fun in building your

bike is telling people “I built it all by myself.” I build bikes

almost everyday and I always learn something new. I enjoy

the process of building something from the ground up, and

I hope you will too.

The instructions were written and designed by me, so if you

have any suggestions please let me know!

Good luck,

MECHANIC / SIXTHREEZERO

----

The lever should be tight enough to feel resistance at a 90º angle. Make sure the front wheel is securely tightened and properly aligned so there are no issues when you assemble the brakes.

NOTE

Lift the lever up towards the fork. If the lever does not lock in place smoothly, loosen QR5 slightly and try again. It will take a small amount of strength, but that is normal.

Once the front wheel is secured, lower the kickstand and locate the front fender.

BRAKE CABLE

Only follow steps 1-9 if your brake cable is not attached to the bicycle.

If your brake cable is attached, skip to step 10.

NOTE

BARREL CABLE

There are two ends to the brake cable.

One end has a barrel attached, while the other end has an open piece of cable.

Slide the cable housing up toward the brake lever until it ﬁts snug inside the barrel adjuster.

Turn the lock ring on the barrel adjuster clockwise, tightening the barrel to prevent any loose movement.

Pull on the cable and slide it through the narrow crevice that runs along the brake lever.

Pull the cable outward, reducing the distance between the brake pads and the rim by about 1/4 inch on both sides. Retighten the adjustment screw.

CABLE

Make sure the pads are evenly lined up with the rim. If the pads rub against the tire, they are too high; if they don’t make full contact with the rim when braking, they are too low.

Adjust the positions by holding the brake pad with one hand and loosening the nut on the back with a 5mm Allen key.

5MM

ALLEN KEY

ADJUST WITH

5MM ALLEN KEY

If one pad seems to run against the rim while the other still has plenty of space, you will need to center the brakes. To do this, adjust the spring tensioner screws located at the base of each brake arm.

Tightening the screw on the right brake arm pushes the right brake pad away from the rim, and the left brake pad towards the rim.

Loosening the right screw allows the right brake pad to move closer to the rim, and the left brake pad away from the rim.

BARREL

ADJUSTER

Turn the barrel adjuster located on the rear derailleur clockwise until it stops.

If the chain still hasn’t reached the smallest cog, then you will need to adjust the “High Gear” limiting screw located on the derailleur (indicated by the letter H).

With a Phillips screwdriver, gradually turn the screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn at a time while rotating the pedal until the chain falls onto the smallest cog.

PHILLIPS

SCREWDRIVER

The “High Gear” limiting screws are very sensitive. We recommend using only 1/4 turn at a time, in case you have to revert back to it’s original position.

NOTE

Each gear should shift with a corresponding “click” sound.

NOTE

Now adjust the cable tension, which controls how your bike will shift. Using a 9mm crescent wrench or the multi-tool, loosen the cable adjustment screw and pull on the cable. While keeping tension on the cable, tighten the cable adjustment screw.

Rotate the pedals and try to shift between gears. If it doesn’t shift from 7th to 6th gear in one click, then the cable needs to be tightened. To tighten the cable, twist the barrel adjuster counterclockwise 1/4 turn at a time until it is able to shift from 7th to 6th gear in one click.

Shift through the gears from 7th to 1st, then back from 1st to 7th. If the gears feel sluggish when shifting from 7th to 1st, tighten the cable by turning the barrel adjuster counterclockwise. If shifting feels ﬁne from 7th to 1st, but sluggish from 1st to 7th, loosen the cable by turning the barrel adjuster clockwise.

Continue to adjust the derailleur cable until you are able to shift between each gear with a single click.
