pads and/or the barrel adjuster at the caliper until
that wheel begins to rotate with the other wheel.

distance from the center rib of one tire to the center
rib of the other tire on both the front or leading edge
and the rear or trailing edge. The distances should
be near 26 inches and should be equal to each other
within 1/8" or 3 mm.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over tighten and strip the thin jam nut.

FIGURE 3.5.11 Finally, both brake levers have
a parking brake pin to hold the brake lever in a
squeezed position. If the parking brake does not hold,
unscrew the brake lever barrel adjuster.
Properly adjusted brakes will clamp the wheels when the
FIGURE 3.6.3 To make sure the wheels are parallel,
rotate the linkage rod one way or the other- note how
the tire angle changes - until the distance between the
tire center ribs in the front is equal to that in the rear.
Make sure that any adjustment to the right linkage
rod is duplicated on the left linkage rod, maintaining
symmetry.
FIGURE 3.6.4 When the wheels are parallel to within 1/8" or 3 mm, tighten the jam nuts against the rod ends.
To tighten the jam nuts, first rotate both rod ends as far as possible in the direction that the jam nuts will tighten,
then use the 14 mm open wrench to tighten the jam nut against the rod end. Check to make sure that each
steering linkage rod is free to rotate as the StreetStrider is leaned to each side.
3.7| FOLDING (SEE VIDEO)
FIGURE 3.7.1 Stabilize the StreetStrider by engaging the right parking brake pin to lock the rear brake. From
the left side of the StreetStrider, rotate the left crank arm to the 3 o'clock position and open the quick release
clamp on the left ski just in front of the foot platform.
IMPORTANT:
Do not stand on the platform of the extended ski or it will damage the left ski.
FIGURE 3.7.3 Extend the inner tube forward until the release button snaps into the hole in the outer tube just
behind the quick release clamp, and close the clamp on the left ski to stabilize the extended ski.
FIGURE 3.6.5 As an option, resistance to leaning
can be increased by tightening the King Pin bolt
with the 8 mm hex and 17 mm open end wrenches.
To optionally change the lean angle degree, adjust
the position of the lean stop disc on the steering
knuckle with the 5 mm hex and 10 mm open end
wrenches.
FIGURE 3.7.2 Under the left foot platform,
locate and press the brass button that releases the
telescopic inner tube of the left ski.
FIGURE 3.7.4 Open the head tube quick release
joint lever, rotate the stem forward, move the
T-pin to the right, then fold down the head tube.
Reverse the folding steps sequence to unfold your
StreetStrider for use.
