Unpacking Your Tikit™ Bicycle From The Suitcase - Bike Friday tikit Manual

Unpacking your tikit™ from case
14. Close TravelCase Lid
Close the case lid, tucking
any loose cables and felt bags
into the case. Then starting
with a side buckle, latch the
lid closed. It is okay if the
lid is tight, this will help
keep the bike from bouncing
around. If you cannot close
the lid, check that the front
wheel and trailer tires are
properly positioned and are not too high. Finally, you should be
able to feel that the crush protector is the highest point of the case.
To unpack your tikit™ from the suitcase:
1. Remove crush protector (top cap & dowel), seatpost/saddle, and
any other accessories not attached to bike. Now lift the bike out of
the case, careful with the handle bar/stem riser assembly as those
housing cables can get tangled and kinked.
2. Raise the seatmast and allow the rear end to swing down - don't
unfold all the way yet.
3. Now unfold your tikit™ (see pages 10-11).
4. Install your seatpost and stem to preferred height (ensure your
cables aren't tangled).
5. Open the front brake. Install the front wheel. Close the front
brake. (see page 28-29)
6. Install the front fender (and optional front rack).
IMPORTANT: If you choose to leave the front fender off make
sure the bolt is still installed on the fork.
7. Double check all quick releases and clamps. Now you are ready
to ride!
