Page 20: Brake Operation
BRAKE OPERATION There are 2 types of braking systems for bicycles; Foot operated and hand operated. Foot Operated Brakes Foot operated brakes allow the rider to pedal forward to accelerate the bicycle, and pedal backwards to brake. The harder you push back on the pedals, the more braking force is applied to the rear wheel. -
Page 21: Hand Operated Brakes
Hand Operated Brakes Hand operated brakes have a separate hand lever to operate front and rear brakes. Front hand brake levers are located on the left side of the handlebar, and rear hand brake levers are located on the right side of the handlebar. Hand operated brakes may be used alone or on some models in conjunction with foot operated brakes. -
Page 22: Gear Operation
GEAR OPERATION Multi speed bicycles can have internal or derailleur gear systems. WARNING: Improper shifting can result in the chain jamming, or becoming derailed resulting in loss of control or a crash. Always be sure the chain is fully engaged in the desired gear before pedaling hard. - Page 23 External Gears (derailleur equipped bicycles) Derailleur equipped bicycles all have a rear derailleur. Some may also have a front Derailleur control cable derailleur offering more gear choices. The right side shifter will operate the rear Front Freewheel derailleur, and the left side (if equipped) will operate the front derailleur. On derailleur derailleur cogs equipped bicycles, it is important to be pedaling forward when shifting gears.
- Page 24 Front Shifter Note that not all models have a front shifter. The front (left) shifter will have an indicator that reads either “low to “high” or a series of numbers from 1 up. Low or “1” is the lowest gear. The front shifter acts much like the rear shifter, but the change between gears is greater.

Page 25: Basic Maintenance
BASIC MAINTENANCE The following procedures will help you maintain your bicycle for years of enjoyable riding. • For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. -
Page 26: Tools For Assembly
TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLY Your new bicycle was assembled and tuned in the factory and then partially disassembled for shipping. You may have purchased the bicycle already fully assembled and ready to ride OR in the shipping carton in the partially disassembled form. The following instructions will enable you to prepare your bicycle for years of enjoyable cycling. -
Page 27: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED Open the carton from the top and remove the bicycle. Remove the straps and protective wrapping from the bicycle. Inspect the bicycle and all accessories and parts for possible shortages. It is recommended that the threads and all moving parts in the parts package be lubricated prior to installation. - Page 28 There are 2 basic types of handlebar mounting; Quill and Threadless. Quill Stems This is a handlebar assembly that has a wedge shaped part at the bottom of the stem that is inserted into the fork steer tube. Loosen the center bolt enough so that the wedge and stem can slide into the fork steer tube.

Page 29: Front Wheel
FRONT WHEEL Retaining washer There are two types of front wheel hubs; Nutted and quick release. Axle Nutted Front Wheels Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel. If there is a washer inside of the axle nut, it belongs outside of the fork dropouts. If the washer has a hook or a step, be sure that it engages the fork before tightening the axle nuts. -
Page 30: Quick Release Wheels
Quick Release Wheels 1. Locate the quick release skewer from the small parts carton of your bicycle. Some tire tread patterns have a direction, so compare your front tire and rear tire of the bicycle so that both tread patterns face the same way. (Fig. 3.10) 2. -
Page 31: Saddle Assembly
SADDLE ASSEMBLY The seat post must be inserted so that the minimum insertion mark cannot be seen. The quick release mechanism must be tightened securely to prevent a sudden shift of the seat when riding. Failure to do this may cause loss of bicycle control. -
Page 32: Pedals And Cranks
PEDALS AND CRANKS Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm can strip pedal threads and cause irreparable damage. Before your first ride, please check to ensure your pedals are attached correctly. Look for the letters “R” for right, and “L” for left, stamped on each pedal spindle. Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping the threads. -

Page 46: Training Wheels
PEGS Some models may come equipped with 2 or 4 pegs. To install pegs, DO NOT loosen or remove axle nuts. Check to make sure axle nuts are properly tightened before installing pegs. Thread the pegs on the axle over the axle nut, and insert a screwdriver or similar tool through the peg holes and tighten by turning the peg with the tool. -

Page 48: Final Check
FINAL CHECK Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall. Exceeding the recommended pressure may blow the tire off the rim, which could cause damage to the bicycle and injury to the rider and bystanders. Tighten both front/rear wheel axle nuts or the quick release mechanism securely. - Page 49 Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure: Smooth running - Longer lasting components - Safer riding - Lower running costs Every time you ride your bicycle, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required. We recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance tasks.
- Page 50 WHEELS Quick release: Check that these are set to the closed position and are properly tensioned before each ride. CAUTION: Maintain the closed position and the correct adjustment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. Axle nuts: Check that these are tight before each ride. It is most important that wheels are kept in top condition.

Page 55: Crank Set
Note: The right and left pedals of a bicycle each have a different thread and are not interchangeable. Never force a pedal into the incorrect crank arm. The right pedal, which attaches to the chainwheel side, is marked ‘R’ on the end of the axle, and screws in with a clockwise thread. - Page 56 To disassemble: 1. Remove the chain from the chainwheel. Front chainwheel 2. Remove the left pedal by turning the spindle clockwise. Rear 3. Remove the left side locknut by turning it clockwise and remove the keyed lockwasher. sprocket 4. Remove the adjusting cone by turning it clockwise with a screwdriver. 5.
- Page 57 Adjustment and replacement On derailleur geared bicycles the rear derailleur automatically tensions the chain. To adjust the chain on single speed freewheel, coaster hub braked or 3-speed hub geared bicycles: 1. Loosen the rear axle nuts (and coaster brake arm clip if fitted) and move the wheel forward to loosen, or backward to tighten, in the frame.

Lubrication Remove any accumulated dirt from the freewheel with a brush and a degreaser. Disassembly of the freewheel is a complicated procedure requiring special tools, and should be left Brake arm clip to a specialist. Apply oil to the freewheel whenever you lubricate the chain, taking care to wipe off any excess. - Page 59 The front derailleur should also shift the chain cleanly and without hesitation between each chainring. If your bicycle is equipped with front indexing (a click between gears), Freewheel Outer side of top gear then each click or stop in the shifter should equate exactly to a new gear position. When the chain has been positioned onto a new chainring, it should not rub on the front Pulley derailleur.
