HAPPY CYCLING!
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase
of an original Veloretti. The following manual will
guide you through the last simple steps before
you can proudly hit the streets!
IN
THE
BOX
You can nd all your separately ordered accessoires
and the tools you need to
complete the last 15% of
your Veloretti in this box as
well.
Use this checklist to check
if your full order is delivered
in the box.
*Brooks accessoires are delivered in a
separate box.
The box contains your brand new Veloretti.
Carefully wrapped and already assembled
for 85%. All you need to do is complete a few
simple assembly steps before you show off on
your new best friend!
Uh oh!
Almost everything. To tighten
some parts you will need
Wrench no. 10 and 15.
Unboxing
Unbox your new Veloretti and remove the packaging
material. We try to pack our bikes as efcient as possible, some parts are therefor packed onto the frame of
the bike. You can nd the smaller parts in the little box
that is also in the box.
Cut the tie-wraps with a
scissor and watch the parts
that are tied to the frame,
they might fall down!
After unboxing and removing the packing material, the
assembling can begin! Just a few simple steps - no bike
knowledge required - and you are ready to go. Follow
this guide and watch the video on our website for a closer look: http://veloretti.com/video/
Step 1
Kickstand
Start with the assembly of the
kickstand so you can put your
Veloretti endwise while you continue with the assembly of your bike.
Use Allen key number 8 to tighten
the kickstand.
Stap 2
Front fender
Install the frond fender onto the
front fork of your bike and use the
brackets to get the fender in line
with the wheel that will be installed
next. Assemble the fender with the
‘loop’ behind the fork, as shown on
the picture on the right.
Tools: Allen Key 5 and wrench 10
Stap 2,5
Front wheel
Put the front wheel at the end of
the front fork. Make sure that the
steel safetypin is in the right position (see photo) before your tighten
the bolts. Align the wheel properly
and tighten the bolts.
Turn the front fork in the right position before assembling the front
fender and the front wheel! Make
sure that the end of the front fork
points north.
Assembly
Attention!
Stap 3
Pedals
Install the pedals by sorting the
pedals, right pedal on the right
and left pedal on the left. Turn the
pedal clockwise into the crank
arm and use wrench no. 15 for nal
tightening.
Stap 4
Saddle
Finally the seat post needs to be
adjusted. A good starting point is
to raise the saddle to about hipheight and try if it is comfortable for you. When you found the
perfect position, tighten it securely
with allen key no. 6.
Not only the height but also the position of the saddle can be adjusted. Doing so might have an effect on the comfort of your bike!
You can adjust the position of the saddle by dissassembling the saddle
from the frame. Loosen the bolt underneath the saddle using Allen
Key 6 and change the position of your saddle both horizontally (1) and
vertical (2). Make sure you extra tighten the bolts under the saddle as
they could get loose after intensive use.
Optional
Front carrier
You can easily mount the front carrier onto the front wheel. Loosen
the screws rst (step 2,5) to mount the front carrier. Make sure that
the steel safetypin stays at its place before you tighten the screw.
The top side of the front carrier is mounted to the stem of the bike
with the included assemblyset. The front carrier should be mounted
as shown on the photo below. Take the screw all the way through the
carrier and tighten the screws on the backside to avoid the carrier
from rattling.
Before you hit
the road...
Almost there! Now you’re done assembling
there are a few very important things to consider regarding: safety. Your tires could use
some air too, by the way...
So before you hit the road, make sure you closely read this page and dubblecheck if your
Veloretti is city-proof!
Pump it up!
Cycling is a lot easier - and more fun - when there is air in the tires.
Pump up your tires to the amount of pressure that you like best. Use
the copper valve that is on one of the tires and make sure that you
unscrew the small nut inside the valve a little to permit airfl ow. After
the tire is infl ated tighten the small nut again and use the copper valve
to pump up the other tire of your bike. We recommend to put enough
air in your tires, as this will improve your ride enormously!
Final check
Double check if all the bolts are tight securely and if all components
are undamaged. Pay close attention to the bolts at the front wheel
and make sure both the steer and saddle are tightened.
Finally, install the included refl ector set in order to meet the safety
regulations!
Maintenance
Cleaning
Securing bolts
Lubricating your bike
Your bike is a collection of moving parts. When these parts come into
contact with mud, grime and debris, wear and tear is inevitable. This
speeds up the deterioration of your bike’s components. Not supri-
singly, your rst line of defence against breakdowns is proper bike
hygiene!
Bicycles are held together by dozens of nuts, bolts and screws that
can wear down or wriggle loose as the result of normal use. Maintaining a tight ship is important because loose - or improperly tightened
- bike parts might:
1. cause poor performance
2. lead to serious wear and tear
3. become a safety hazard
Keep in mind that there is more to keeping bike bolts properly tensioned than simply cranking down on every nut and bolt in sight as hard
as possible. Over tightening can cause as much damage as under tightening, and it can also lead to component failure and/or unsafe riding
situations.
Keeping your bike parts properly lubricated is crucial for good performance. Lubrication protects moving parts from excessive wear cause
by friction, keeps them from freezing up and keeps rust and corrosion from attacking exposed metal components. Be careful, though,
over-lubricating can lead to poor performance and component damage (excess lubricant will attract dirt and other abrasive particles).
When you lubricate your bike, be sure to use lubes that are suited to
your weather and riding conditions. Rainy areas require more durable
bike oils, while dry areas require lighter oils that won’t pick up as much
dirt. Also keep in mind that wet conditions typically require more
frequent lubrication. Check your local bike shop/mechanic for recom-
mendations and specic lubes that match your riding conditions.
Insurance
It might be wise to insure your Veloretti. When you live in the Netherlands you can easily insure your bike at our friends from the ANWB via
our website: http://veloretti.com/anwb-insurance.
When you want to insure your bike, an AXA lock on your bike is required. You need to hand over 2 keys, the keynumber and the frame
number to the insurance organisation.
The frame number can be found underneath the Veloretti. We placed
the 10 digit frame number underneath the crank axle. You can write
down both numbers below so you won’t loose them!
